Miss Abdulai, expressed appreciation to the US Embassy in Ghana for accepting the request to meet them, adding that her organization was excited with the gesture from the Embassy.
She said, RamaVisions seeks to discover, nurture, and empower the next generation of football talents especially female footballers through outreach initiatives.
According to her, RamaVisions aim to provide young athletes with the opportunity to develop their skills, discipline, and leadership both on and off the field.
She said RamaVisions sees sports, especially football as a powerful tool for social transformation, hence its usage to inspire hope, build confidence and create pathways for young people to pursue meaningful opportunities in life.
Miss Abdulai said, her outfit in collaboration with local communities, coaches, mentors, and development partners had created an environment where promotion of young girls can thrive and overcome socio-economic barriers.
“Despite the many obstacles on our way, we have been able to provide young but needy students with books, mathematical sets, school uniforms, and paid tuition fees for some of them.
“We have also been able to discover young female footballers across the country who have grown to become disciplined, and responsible people in society,” she added.
Donya’ Eldridge – Culture and Education Attaché of the Embassy, encouraged the group to continue with their good work, since combining education and sports is one of the effective ways to promote development.

She said there were Ghanaian resource persons who were trained in the USA and will be available to exchange their ideas with RamaVisions.
She commended RamaVisions for embarking on activities that, seek to mentor and empower young football talents.
