We sit down with Kezia Sanie, the visionary behind For The Future Organization, for a raw and inspiring conversation about the children society often overlooks, the underprivileged, the unheard, the unseen.

“These kids you see on the streets, in the slums… they’re incredibly talented. But when you don’t even have the chance, opportunity doesn’t exist for you.”

From stories of young girls walking miles for water and struggling to afford sanitary pads, to confronting the deeper question of how to move beyond temporary relief into long-term empowerment, Kezia shares what truly fuels her mission.

We explore:
•What it means to empower a child beyond just food or aid
•Why talent without opportunity is a tragedy
•The backlash she’s faced online and how she rises above it
•The bigger picture: how Ghana’s challenges multiply across the continent

This episode is a powerful reflection on purpose, leadership, and sustainable impact.
