Ms Sally Lariba Azoteyine,21 years , a media and mass communications student of Tamale polytechnic and a native of bolgatanga in the upper east region of ghana.she isalso the founder of little feet-bolga project a non governmental organisation(NGO) aimed at collecting footware (used/new) for underprivileged children in the communities under the bolgatanga Municipality such as sirigu, sokabisi, Gambibgo, Dorungo and Tondongo.she also provide this children with books,uniforms and other materials.
during my interview with her she cited her late father Mr.Robert Abaah as the one whom she got her inspiration from,Mr Robert Abaah whom she said was someone who loved helping people and seeing smiles on people’s faces,so while growing up she learnt to offer a helping hand to people in need,and as the years went by it became something she loved doing, she then decided she could do something for her people with her time and sacrifice.
she realised that school children in her community and beyond were lacking some basic learning materials,footwear and uniforms.thats when she decided to do something about it.with the help of her father she created the little feet-bolga project in july 2015 to help bring smiles to the faces of alot of children who through no fault of theirs have to walk bare footed to school and about and also to close the gap of school children in need of footwear and school materials.
she runs this NGO all alone but has some dedicated friends who sometimes help her out.after every donation she encourages her beneficiaries to be determined, focused and study real hard and with all this they can be whatever they want to be.
she intend studying law after her polytecnic education.
