"I grew up in a family where giving back was a lot. I can't remember a point in my childhood when I lived with just my parents and my siblings. There was always somebody else.
"My parents actively took care of other people, either my cousins or friends. So it's just growing up watching my parents do that influenced me heavily. So I started giving back at a very young age."

According to Kwame, his decision to directly feed the street children was because of the misappropriation of funds by charity agencies.

He revealed that an investigation exposed NGOs that siphoned funds meant for needy children into their own pockets.

For Kwame, feeding the kids - directly - has been more impactful than making large donations to unscrupulous organisations that pry on the benevolence of the wealthy at the expense of the poor.

"An investigator in Ghana discovered some things about what my parents gave to orphanages. People were using it for personal gain and not giving it to the kids," he added. "So I decided to do something more impactful by going straight to the source, which was street kids."
