About Sam George's Foundation

The Dzata Foundation, founded by Ningo Prampram MP and Communications Minister Samuel Nartey George, is a prominent community-based organisation.

The name "Dzata" is significant as it's the MP's widely known nickname, meaning "Lion" in the Ewe language, reflecting strength and leadership.

The foundation serves as the primary vehicle for his philanthropic and social intervention programs, focusing almost exclusively on the development and welfare of the people within his constituency.

The foundation has significantly impacted education in the constituency by providing bursaries for tertiary education, covering admission, tuition, and accommodation fees for needy yet brilliant students.

Additionally, it has donated educational materials to basic schools and sponsored free remedial classes for WASSCE candidates, offering them a second chance at higher education.
