My Hereafter Project
VP Grantee
My Hereafter Project, now in its second year as a grantee of the New Africa Fund, is a not-for-profit charity organization in Ghana, championing equality in access to healthcare services, especially for women and children in underserved communities. It was founded in 2013 by Alimatu Nuhu Sadia, a young woman (then 19) with a vision to use local resource mobilization to intercede for the needy in her community, which lacked a health facility.
The organization provides support to vulnerable individuals and underserved communities through a variety of programs and initiatives:
​
-
‘One Child, One Health Insurance Card’ – an initiative to register children under 18 under the Ghana National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) so they can access free basic healthcare and other benefits by showing the NHIS card. In 2024, My Hereafter Project facilitated the registration of 2,300 children, improving their access to essential healthcare.
-
Health Outreach in deprived communities – bringing a team of volunteer health professionals, including registered nurses and community health advocates, to a selected rural community every month. The volunteer medical officers provide health screening on selected conditions, consultation based on the outcome, and necessary referrals. Professional volunteers also provide health and nutrition education.
-
Health Financing – leading local fundraisers to support healthcare, hospital bills, and pay for surgeries for orphans, the poor, and underprivileged. In 2024, funds raised by My Hereafter Project were used to support life-saving surgeries and medical expenses for 43 vulnerable individuals.
-
Sustainable Livelihood – Equipping women with the necessary skills, knowledge, and support to establish and grow their own sustainable businesses and break free from the cycle of poverty. To support these women, My Hereafter facilitates access to microloans, grants, and equipment, while providing them with training in areas such as entrepreneurship, financial literacy, vocational skills, and sustainable farming practices.
​
In 2024, 'My Hereafter' launched the Hereafter Studios, a photography venture created to generate sustainable income in support of the organization’s mission.
