The donation of GH¢500,000 is a demonstration of the foundation’s unwavering support for the ministry’s efforts to combat opioid abuse.

Empowering the Youth The Ministry of Youth can leverage the RNA Youth Foundation’s expertise and resources to develop effective strategies for addressing opioid abuse among Ghana’s youth. By working together, they can create a safer and healthier environment for the country’s future leaders.

The RNAQ Foundation’s donation is a significant step towards addressing the opioid abuse menace in Ghana. It is hoped that this gesture will inspire other organizations and individuals to join the fight against opioid abuse and support the Ministry of Youth’s efforts to protect Ghana’s youth.
