The DOYA Foundation, a non-profit humanitarian organisation, has been launched with a mandate to support vulnerable populations and promote the rehabilitation and reintegration of prisoners.

The Foundation says it aims to address challenges linked to poverty, incarceration and social exclusion through humanitarian assistance, community empowerment and justice-linked interventions.

Founder Degraft Oppong said the organisation was established to offer hope and practical support to people struggling to reintegrate into society.

“We believe that no one should be permanently defined by poverty or imprisonment. The DOYA Foundation exists to restore dignity and give people a real chance to rebuild their lives,” he said.

According to the organisation, its programmes will include emergency relief, healthcare and educational support for vulnerable groups, as well as skills training, counselling and post-release support for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated persons.

The Foundation will also engage families, communities and key stakeholders to promote social acceptance and long-term reintegration.
