America-based charity organisation, Afrikicks in collaboration with the Minister of Youth Sports, Mustapha Ussif will donate items worth over $150,000 to orphanages and underprivileged school children in Ghana.

The organisation, which has donated over 170,000 shoes to school children, orphans, and underprivileged people in society in over seven African countries, arrived in Ghana last week seeking to touch the lives of more than a thousand people in the country.

Founder of Afrikicks, Oumarou Iddrissa says, the organisation live by the philosophy of the Zulu word “Ubuntu” which means humanity to others.

He said, he grew up without shoes and wants to touch the lives of others. The organisation has been to The Gambia, Senegal, Niger, Nigeria, Guinea, Benin, and many other countries, donating shoes, clothes, football, basketballs, sports equipment, toys, and books.

A 40-foot container full of these items has been brought to Ghana to reach out to many more children in the continent who are deprived.

They are expected to make donations in the Greater Accra and Northern regions.

Afrikicks over the years have worked with singer and songwriter, Akon, Manchester United's Paul Pogba, Los Angeles Lakers, Serge Ibaka, and many others including; Dwight Howard, Kyrie Irving, Frank Schilling, and Toronto Raptors, Lake Bell.
