Hosted by Kwami Sefa Kayi, The MTN Heroes of Change is a 13-part television programme that started airing on five stations from last Sunday, January 26.
There are people committed to helping their communities in a variety of ways and the proramme, an initiative of the MTN Ghana Foundation, aims to highlight the work of such people and eventually support them financially to execute their projects.
Father Campbell is already well known for his tireless efforts at raising resources for the Weija Leprosarium. He has been at it for over 40 years and he will give more insight into his project on the programme.
Lily Akua Mintah has an educational project that assists brilliant needy children. She also runs a library for children at Manhean in Tema.
The two personalities are among 20 people selected from across the country to be featured on the MTN Heroes of Change programme which is looking at selfless efforts in five categories: Community Crusader, Social Protection, Health, Environment and Education.
A panel of four judges will select winners for each category, as well as an overall winner.
An amount of GH¢10,000 will go to support each category winner and the ultimate winner will receive project support of up to GH¢50,000.
The programme’s host, Sefa Kayi, has described the 20 people being featured as “angels quietly helping their communities.”
The MTN Heroes of Change is shown on Sundays on Crystal TV (7.30 pm); Metro TV (8.00 pm); Multi TV (8.00 pm); eTV Ghana (8.00 pm) and TV Africa (8.30 pm).
