How One Project Is Transforming Single Parents' Lives in Rural Ghana

The Nyonko Foundation's Love Like This project is making a real difference for single parents in rural Ghana. Launched in 2022, the initiative focuses on economic empowerment through microloans, training, and business grants. Caroline Sampson, a single parent herself, leads the effort and sees its impact as deeply personal.

The project helps single parents build sustainable livelihoods. By early 2026, it had supported over 1,500 people across 450 families. Practical tools like vocational training and small business grants give parents a path to financial independence.

Beyond money, the initiative fosters community. Sampson and the Nyonko Foundation aim to create long-term stability for families. Their approach combines economic aid with ongoing mentorship and networking opportunities.

Love Like This is part of the foundation's wider mission to uplift vulnerable groups. The focus remains on measurable, lasting change rather than short-term fixes. Sampson's own experience as a single parent drives her commitment to the cause.

Since 2022, the project has delivered tangible results for hundreds of families. Microloans and training have enabled parents to grow businesses and support their children. The foundation continues to expand its reach, with plans to assist even more communities in the coming years.
