On Sunday, October 26, Ghana Black Queens player Grace Asantewaa demonstrated her compassion and generosity by donating to the Up & Shine Orphanage in Kwakyekrom-Nsawam. The children at the orphanage, many of whom have lost limbs in accidents, were shown love and support by Asantewaa and her team.
Through her foundation, the Grace Asantewaa Foundation, Asantewaa donated essential items such as bags of rice, oil, washing powder, soaps, drinks, and monetary contributions to the orphanage. In a heartfelt speech, she encouraged the children and the needy to persevere and overcome their challenges, emphasizing the importance of breaking barriers despite their circumstances.
Asantewaa expressed her eagerness to meet the orphans and amputees after missing the foundation’s first visit, and she made sure to join the team this time around. She also acknowledged the support of Ghana Women’s National Team Coach Kim Las, who was instrumental in facilitating her visit to the orphanage.
The Up & Shine Orphanage expressed their gratitude to Asantewaa and her foundation for their generous donations and inspirational words. They wished the Black Queens good luck in their upcoming game against Egypt on Tuesday, October 28, 2025.
In addition to her contributions to the orphanage, Asantewaa also showed her love for the less fortunate on the streets of Greater Accra. At the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange (Circle), she distributed cooked rice to over 150 homeless individuals, demonstrating her care and concern for those in need.
Asantewaa’s actions exemplify the true spirit of giving and compassion, and her efforts to support the vulnerable in her community are truly commendable. Her dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of others serves as an inspiration to us all.
