Sangu Delle Foundation launched; outstanding individuals championing national development honoured

Sangu Delle, has officially launched the Sangu Delle Foundation (SDF), a nonprofit organisation that seeks to build the capacity of young Africans in the areas of entrepreneurship and education while leading advocacy for mental health issues in Ghana.

He noted that, the interventions, which have been uniquely designed in accordance with the Foundation’s strategic pillars, would prove phenomenal in tackling a myriad of challenges confronting young people in Ghana and Africa at large.

“Research has revealed that 20% of Ghanaians are beset with one mental health issue or another

Unfortunately, apart from the fact that mental health issues are largely ignored and misunderstood in Ghana, the inadequacy of mental health practitioners and facilities are major factors that pose a serious threat to delivery and accessibility of quality mental health care.”

He added that, “Inspite of these challenges, mental health patients should always be treated with compassion and never be stigmatized.”

He said that the move would help many young people realize their dreams.

Years on, it shifted from an operationally heavy engagement to a grant-making format that seeks to empower community-based organisations championing change in society, being the Sangu Delle Foundation.
