The De-Graft Johnson Show which is a little over a year on television is already a household name and a leading pro-poor program touching many lives.

In September this year, the Foundation donated various amounts of money to two mothers who have been abandoned by the fathers of their respective children.

They are Aisha Abdullah and Philipa Brimah, mother of eleven year old Emeka Etuke.

Aisha received GH₵3,000 startup capital for any business of her choice.

In March this year, the Foundation again handed over keys to a fully furnished apartment at Kasoa to Aisha.

Aside, this, the Foundation spent over GH₵30,000 on the late Abiba Abdullaih Aisha’s daughter who was battling a strange disease.

Philipa for her part received GH₵2,000 for the upkeep of Eneka currently recuperating from a fully sponsored surgery by the Foundation.

The Foundation has so far spent over GH₵15,000 on the surgery to correct Bladder Exstrophy and other general medical expenses.

As though that is not enough, Rev. De-Graft Johnson says the Foundation would buy a plot of land for Philipa at any location of her choice to enable her move from the kiosk she is currently living at Pokuase, a suburb of Accra.

Meanwhile, the Foundation has made an initial GH₵20,000 deposit towards a hole in heart surgery for 12 year-old Jewel Owusu at Korle-Bu. The figure however, leaves the Foundation with a total of GH¢14,200 balance to pay.

Rev De-Graft Johnson for this reason urged all to financially assist the Foundation.
