Ghanaian songstress Jane Afia Awindor, famously known as Efya, has been honoured with a certificate of appreciation by the DreamChild Foundation in recognition of her growing commitment to African talents, child wellness and social impact initiatives across the continent.
The award presentation, led by the Foundation’s International Global Ambassador, Jai Gulabrai, also saw Efya officially appointed as a Goodwill Ambassador, championing advocacy for the health and wellbeing of the African child.
Efya joins Afro-pop star Stonebwoy, fashion duo Lali X Lola, and gospel music duo the Tagoe Sisters who were also recognised by the DreamChild Foundation recently.
Appreciation
In her acceptance remarks, Efya expressed gratitude for the recognition, describing it as both humbling and deeply personal.
She mentioned that using her voice and platform to inspire change, especially for vulnerable children, is a responsibility she embraces wholeheartedly.
Efya added that the initiative aligns strongly with her values as an artist and humanitarian, pledging to lend her influence to causes that create lasting impact.
Mr Gulabrai commended Efya for her authenticity and passion, stating that her influence extends far beyond music into meaningful social transformation.
He described her as a powerful voice for change whose involvement will help amplify the Foundation’s mission to improve child healthcare infrastructure across Ghana and the continent.
Ambitious initiative
The DreamChild Foundation has embarked on an ambitious initiative to construct five pediatric clinics across five regions in Ghana as part of a broader vision to expand access to quality healthcare for children. The project forms part of a larger funding drive estimated at 14 million dollars.
Efya’s role also connects strongly with the upcoming HoodTalk Music Festival, an African live music platform designed not only to entertain but to drive economic growth and social change.
The festival is rallying musicians and creatives to use their craft to support the DreamChild Foundation’s pediatric healthcare initiative.
Convergence of music, advocacy
Organisers say the festival will serve as a powerful convergence of music, advocacy, and development—creating opportunities for artists while mobilising support for a cause that directly impacts the future of African children.
With influential figures like Efya lending their voices, the initiative is expected to gain significant traction, reinforcing the role of the creative industry as a catalyst for national development and social transformation.
