The Sung Biela Foundation was established with a clear focus on addressing the needs of society’s most vulnerable and overlooked populations. Recognizing the disproportionate challenges faced by students from disadvantaged backgrounds, persons with disabilities, widows, and underserved communities, the foundation has committed itself to being a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change.

Driven to empower vulnerable populations, the foundation focuses on key areas and initiatives, including women’s economic empowerment, sustainable agriculture, education, mentorship, and entrepreneurship. Through these efforts, the foundation aims to create positive and lasting impacts on the lives of individuals and communities in the Northern regions of Ghana, especially the Upper East region.

Educational programs are designed to provide equitable access to quality education for students who might otherwise be excluded due to socioeconomic barriers. The foundation believes in education’s transformative power and ability to open doors to new possibilities for marginalized people.

With a women-led approach, Sung Biela is committed to addressing the unique challenges faced by women, girls, orphans, persons with disabilities, and other marginalized groups within its operational communities. Empowerment of women, particularly widows who often face significant social and economic hardships, is another cornerstone of the foundation. Focus is given to creating programs that encourage self-sufficiency, vocational training, and support entrepreneurship. The aim is to equip these women with the confidence and capabilities to secure a stable and prosperous future for themselves and their families.

Also, support is extended to persons with disabilities by advocating for their rights, fostering an environment of inclusivity, and providing the tools and resources necessary for them to lead fulfilling lives. We strive to dismantle the barriers that prevent Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) from fully participating in society and to promote their well-being and independence.

Sung Biela Foundation is driven by the conviction that every individual deserves the opportunity to achieve their full potential. By focusing on education, support for PwDs, and women’s empowerment, we are not just aiding individuals; we are investing in the fabric of society and nurturing a future where the underserved can actively contribute to their community development.

The culmination of our efforts reflects the tangible improvements and transformative changes realized in the lives of our beneficiaries. From facilitating educational campaigns in underserved regions to empowering women through entrepreneurship, our initiatives leave a lasting imprint on communities, fostering sustainable development and social progress.

Our History

In many cultures, names hold profound significance, often telling a tale or setting a person on a destiny path. This belief is particularly strong among the people of Bawku in the Upper East region of Ghana, where the Kusaal dialect is spoken. The name “Sung Biela” resonates deeply in this dialect. “Sung” means “support,” and “Biela,” meaning “modest,” beautifully encapsulates the foundation’s philosophy: “Modest Support.” This name symbolizes the profound impact that even the smallest acts of kindness can have in transforming lives and communities.

The Sung Biela Foundation was founded in 2018 by Hajia Zenabu, whose personal history of overcoming hardship has deeply influenced her commitment to supporting the vulnerable in society. Orphaned at a young age, Hajia Zenabu faced numerous challenges but was supported by compassionate individuals who helped her navigate difficult times. Her experiences instilled in her a strong belief that no act of assistance is too small and that with collective effort, the narrative of the less privileged can be changed.

Inspired by her conviction, Hajia Zenabu established the Sung Biela Foundation to improve“the quality of life for widows, orphans, persons with disabilities, and the elderly in underserved communities. Since its inception, the foundation has been dedicated to providing essential support and bringing hope to those in need, embodying its core philosophy that even a little help can make a significant difference.
