The Hina Numbu foundation a non-governmental organization, known to annually organise free medical outreach up North will Friday launch its fundraiser to garner funds to do a free medical outreach during the first two days of the Damba Festival next year.
Also, Ghana’s first alternative rock band, ‘Dark Suburb’, has settled on supporting the Foundation’s ‘fund raiser’ this Friday December 20.
The screening which will happen in all the Northern Regions will be target dangerous sicknesses such as Hypertension, Malaria and Diabetes.
It will also educate people on how to prevent and take care of themselves even after contracting any of the diseases.
The launch is scheduled to take place at East Legon from 7 to 9 PM.
According to Dark Suburb, they vowed to support this initiative because, “Dark Suburb is a brand developed to represent the dark suburbs of society meaning the disadvantaged in the society, an attempt to stimulate a self – development led agenda. This concept is fronted by an African masquerade culture which reminds people of justice through arts. Our aim is to raise revenue anyway we can, led by our talents and invest in our disadvantaged communities through our own developed business models.”
They added that, the founder of Hina numbu foundation Salma Chaana Abdul-Razak, approached them on this agenda years ago, “and we made mistakes and somehow we have learnt from them and evolved.”
“We also intend to be available artistically in any fundraising like this coming event and also tell the stories of the deprived through our music and celebrate successes,” the group promised.
