Ebenezer Dadzie, a 31-year-old native of Efiekuma in Takoradi, has been given a fresh start after years of hardship. Orphaned at a young age and abandoned by extended family, he eventually found himself in Mankessim without stable accommodation or income, despite having completed his education at Takoradi Technical Institute.
Misjudged by many due to his appearance, Ebenezer is mentally sound and eager to work. After several unsuccessful attempts to earn a living, he resorted to collecting scraps to survive. His situation caught the attention of popular social media influencers, Patrick and Frederick Mensah, popularly known as Twinsdiaries, who stepped in to support him.
With the support received, Ebenezer was provided with permanent accommodation, essential household items, clothing, food supplies, and personal care items to help him settle into his new home. In addition, he received GH₵4,000 in cash to support his immediate needs.
He is also set to begin work with a company as a permanent staff member, a development that will enable him to cater for himself, pay his rent and utilities, and live independently.
As part of the intervention, Ebenezer was taken to the Ankaful Psychiatric Hospital for a full health assessment, following records of past substance abuse. This was done to ensure his mental, emotional and physical well-being as he begins this new chapter.
Ebenezer Dadzie’s story is a reminder that compassion can restore dignity and transform lives. Through collective effort, hope has been renewed and a future rebuilt.
