The
Foundation
Ananse Reach Concept is a
CHILD-INITIATED and CHILD-DRIVEN movement that seeks the active participation of
CHILDREN in all spheres of national development thereby building quality
leadership for the future.
After the events that triggered the idea of Ananse Reach Concept,
Anansewaa Nana Adwoa Oforiwaa Anti and Ananse Lawrence William Ayim Anti; then
11 and 9 years old wrote a book entitled “My
Memoire” which depicted their experience in the hinterlands.
Numerous ideas started reflecting in the two children’s minds and with some
adult advice and support, the bits and pieces of their ideas were logically
collated and packaged into a document entitled the “Conceptual
Framework”.
After ensuring that the organization has taken roots and seeing the
need for the organization to grow irrespective of their presence and
contributions, Nana Adwoa and Lawrence have taken a back-stage position and have
appointed hardworking members of the organization to run the affairs of Ananse
Reach Concept. Currently, the National President of Ghana is 16 year old
hardworking Anansewaa Emefa. Nana Adwoa and Lawrence have been constituted into
a body called "The Foundation".
The Foundation consists of the first
two Founders and any other individual they may wish to include. In 2008, they
included their little sister Anansewaa Awurama making the membership
three.

battling with the usual lack of recognition given to children and their
thoughts; currently it aspires to become the first universal association for the
young generation which shall strive to ensure that the future they are bound to
inherit is given a strong foundation starting from today. Continue surfing our
