“They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do and something to hope for”. TOM BODETT The idea to create change in the minds of many people is a welcomed step by the world to add to its goodness. Loneliness, depression, failure and lack of hope are some of the greatest problems and killers of our times. They turn competent people into non-achievers, transform confident individuals into doubters of their own potential, breaking up families and dividing communities.<br/><br/> They affect the young and old, the rich and poor, the disabled and the able bodied of every ethnicity, race, creed and tongue. Unfortunately, many have forgotten the simple things which make us all sane, whole and fulfilled. Simple things such as Hope and Love!<br/><br/> For Mrs. Margaret Ansaa Opare Founder & CEO of REPAO FOUNDATION, it is not only an approach that seeks to solve societal problems but it is redemption for her and others. Being a woman who is strong willed and tactful, a daughter, mother and grandmother, the need to see others happy is something of utmost important to her.<br/><br/> Talking about her desire to build a foundation that helps the needy, she spoke on self love and the need to give to others. “My mission is simple: I want to give people hope”. In the past I was regarded as a change agent. I became a community leader and social entrepreneur at a young age. My motivation was simple; it was to see people flourish! My passion was to see people reaching their full potential and living fulfilling lives. I believe myself to be fearless, with the transferable skills necessary to take on the leadership of such a promising and positively impactful project.<br/><br/> My vision<br/><br/> * I want to target and help those who have been neglected, forgotten abandoned and ostracized. * To support lifelong learning, development and self-help initiatives to foster sustainable development within communities. * Equip individuals and communities with tools to help themselves and help others experience love, affirmation and a sense of belonging. I want people to do more than just survive. I want them to thrive! Where there is vision there is hope.<br/><br/> While a change agent is someone willing to create change that impacts the lives of those underserved and underprivileged in all ways. In building Repao Foundation she secures a channel to bridge the gap and help others live the good fulfilling life in a huge way.
