Overview
G.N.S is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) specializing in Sickle cell management and associated haematological diseases, Orphanages and Disability assistance, Youth and Women (‘Kayaye’, Antenatal) support as well as empowerment. This is a charity dedicated to all hence very diverse and unique thus setting it apart from other typical charitable organizations
G.N.S has worked underground for many years since 2013 until the organization registered it legally in early 2016. G.N.S Foundation is a proud member of the Sickle Cell Society of the United Kingdom
G.N.S stems from the combined abbreviated first names of the founders of the charity Gibeleen and Sandra Amponsah Nimpong. Gibeleen and Sandra are Master degree holders of prestigious universities in the United Kingdom and Ghana. They are mostly of pure scientific background and both have acquired qualifications in the areas of business as well.
Most importantly, they have worked with charities such as UNICEF-UCL (United Kingdom), St Mark’s Hospital Foundation (Northwest London Hospitals- United Kingdom), Osu Children’s Home-(Orphanage- Ghana), Badwease Orphanage Ghana (as members of the Child’s Right and Survival club of Wesley Girls High School) and some ‘Kayaye’ females in Ghana. They are also the primary sponsors of education for two children aged six and four years and have been doing this for years now.
Our Motivation & Inspiration
The motivation and inspiration behind their charity G.N.S Foundation is as a result of the positive influence from their mother who defied all odds in helping others she encountered in life. They watched their uncle struggle through life as a sickle cell disorder and anaemic patient battling between life and death as they grew. All the love and support from family especially the unfailing sacrifice from their mother helped their uncle to an extent but however could not stop him from the terrible and unpredicted crises he had to endure due to his condition.
This is the reason why sickle cell anaemia and disorders serves as the primary goal of their organization. Their other goals (physical disability, orphanages, youth empowerment and women support) are of equal importance to them because they believe that their individual life experiences and as God-fearing Christians, they should positively impact the lives of the underprivileged and other vulnerable people in the society.
Gibeleen and Sandra (G.N.S) are young adults who have learnt about sacrifice and undying love for people through life experiences which have forced them to grow above their ages. They are here to show the world that young female adults can equally be of positive influence in their society. Also, to show their capabilities and change the lives of the people they encounter.
