Some of the beneficiaries at Nima
On August 20th, 2024, an air of anticipation and reverence filled the streets of Nima as leaders, family, and friends of the late Dr. Kenneth Elvis Anewenah gathered at St. Kizito Catholic Parish and School and the Nima Mosque. Their mission: to feed students, street children, and adults in an act of kindness that celebrated the legacy of a man who had dedicated his life to uplifting others.
Under the theme “Meals on Wheels” for the Homeless in Accra, this event touched the lives of approximately 1,000 people. They were treated to takeaway lunch packs filled with delicious Jollof rice, succulent chicken, and refreshing drinks. The generosity of the foundation was a testament to the values of the man they honored—Ken—whose spirit of giving continues to ripple through his community even after his passing.
Dr. Kenneth Elvis Anewenah, a successful entrepreneur and the CEO of both Myturn Ltd. and Lesken Enterprise, was as committed to serving humanity as he was to his businesses. Known for his deep faith and dedication to helping those in need, Ken’s generosity became the cornerstone of his life.
In a moving tribute, Kasisi Ricky Peprah, spokesperson for the Dr. Kenneth Elvis Anewenah Foundation, addressed the media. “Today would have been Dr. Ken’s 52nd birthday. He was a man of immense generosity, always giving to orphanages and supporting brilliant students who couldn’t afford an education,” Kasise remarked. “As a family, we felt it only fitting to carry on his noble vision by continuing his good works through initiatives like this.”
He added, “This marks the foundation’s first public program since its establishment two years ago. The foundation’s vision is to carry forward Dr. Ken’s legacy, supporting the underprivileged in our society with the same dedication to truthfulness and compassion he exemplified. We aim to expand across the country to help even more brilliant but needy students reach their full potential.”
