Mahama has built a reputation for stepping in to support Ghanaians facing difficult circumstances, including members of the media.
In 2025, he donated $115,000 towards journalist Kofi Adoma's eye surgery following a shooting incident in Dormaa in the Brong Ahafo Region.
He has also supported individuals with medical emergencies in the past, including a 13-year-old girl who needed a kidney transplant and another who needed treatment for leukemia.
Nana Yaa Brefo thanks Ibrahim Mahama
In a video posted by Ask Media on July 19, 2026, Nana Yaa Brefo explained that a fellow journalist had been battling an illness linked to her throat.
She said the journalist, identified as Georgina (Afia) Kwarteng, had previously shown signs of improvement and even attended a thanksgiving service to mark her recovery, but the condition later returned.
Brefo said the team reached out to Ibrahim Mahama for help, and he responded almost immediately.
She said:
"We contacted Ibrahim Mahama, and he responded in less than an hour, resolving everything for my fellow journalist. It is my prayer that God creates 10 more people like him for Ghana because, if we had more people of his kind, many of our problems would be solved."
