The Ogbenze’s Foundation, was officially launched on March 6, at the Shukura Wembley AstroTurf, with a heartwarming donation to widows as part of its commitment to supporting the less privileged.
The event, which attracted a large crowd, featured performances by renowned artists, including Sofar, Nii Allotey Tetor, and Alorman.
However, the highlight of the occasion was the touching moment when two widows were the first to receive donations. One of them, a woman whose husband was tragically shot dead in Kasoa while she was left to care for a newborn, and the other, a widow who has lost both her husband and all her children.
Their emotional stories moved many attendees, who applauded the foundation’s CEO, Samuel Hassan Crabbe, for his efforts in identifying and supporting them.
Samuel Hassan Crabbe began his philanthropic journey in 2023, assisting individuals by paying school fees, covering hospital bills, and providing essential medicines.
His charitable work gained wider recognition following a major donation at the Village of Hope orphanage, where he organized a party for the children and donated food items.
Since then, the Ogbenze’s Foundation has extended its support to several other institutions and communities. Donations have been made to the School for the Blind in the form of food supplies, as well as the Teshie Orphanage, where both food items and an undisclosed sum of money were provided.
At Kwashieman, the foundation supported widows with stationery and financial assistance, while at the Accra Usher Clinic, it organized a party for widows and donated food supplies.
In addition to these efforts, the foundation is currently sponsoring the education of two children—one pursuing photography and the other enrolled at Labone Senior High School.
The launch event underscored the foundation’s commitment to improving lives, with many in attendance commending Samuel Hassan Crabbe for his generosity and dedication to social impact.
