“Denkyem” brings hope to the youth through sports

Denkyem Charitable Foundation inc, a nongovernmental organization has taken the Tema metropolis in Ghana by storm through the support it has been giving to the youth , as well as both government and privately owned primary and preparatory schools in the area.
The organization is using sports to create a safe haven and a strong sense of belonging, participation and self-expression leading to patriotism in the youth as well as building confidence and innovation
Though Denkyem is noted for soccer, it is also supporting the kids in the area of athletics, netball, boxing etc, which has been evident in the performance of schools such as the community two (2) number four primary school, which excelled in their annual athletics meet earlier this year, where they easily won almost all their events and topped their zone.
Denkyem supported the school in the provision of coaches, kits, snacks and water for the school, boosting the morale of the kids, hence their wonderful performance.
Other schools like New age educational centre also in community two (2), also have not been left out, and the Denkyem train is about to reach all the schools in Tema and beyond.
