Our Story
In traditional Ghanaian communities, raising a child is a collective endeavor, guided by a network of elders and community members. Similarly, the Akan word "Nkabom" embodies the concept of shared responsibility and uplifting one's neighbor. At Luxe Foundation, we embrace this ethos, recognizing our duty and shared responsibility to nurture promising young minds.
Founded by Naana Baaba Sampson, the foundation was born out of a desire to break down barriers and create pathways to success for young women, ensuring that no dream goes unrealised due to circumstances beyond their control. Growing up in Ghana, our founder witnessed many bright young girls fail to grow into successful women due to socioeconomic and cultural barriers. In a series of fortunate events, our founder graduated top of her class and as Valedictorian during her Master's degree in Digital Forensics and Cyber Security, which has opened so many doors, and made it possible for her to achieve her dream of helping the younger generation.
"Luxe Foundation aims to be the catalyst for a series of fortunate events for a new generation of young girls today."
The foundation provides the youth, especially girls in Ghana with the tools, resources and opportunities they need to realize their dreams. Our approach prioritizes holistic support, paying keen attention to the overall wellbeing of our beneficiaries. We recognise that educating women not only transforms individual lives but also has far-reaching benefits for entire communities, including improved mental health, increased economic opportunity and enhanced societal relationships.
While our journey begins in Ghana, this is the first step towards our broader mission of broadening access to resources for youth across Africa and beyond. We envision a world where young people everywhere have the freedom to succeed in whichever path they choose.
