Get to know our Foundation

and see how we work

The Omenaa Foundation is a charitable NGO originated by Omenaa Mensah who remains its good spirit. The Foundation’s key field of activity is supporting education in its broadest sense. We support street children in Africa who do not have access to education, but we also help the most needy children in Poland…

Targets of Foundation
Education

because everything Omenaa has achieved in life, she owes to education. When she was a kid, her dad used to say: “Cars, houses, jewellery – you can always lose. What we have in our heads, no one can ever take away from us…

Tolerance

because Omenaa, due to her origin and skin colour, especially in her childhood, experienced many unpleasant situations resulting from the lack of tolerance in the Polish society. Hence, in her activities she attaches…

Cooperation

The Omenaa Foundation found partners to support the project and built a school for street children in Ghana. The KIDS HAVEN SCHOOL was officially opened in September 2021…

CHARITY SHOW PROMOTING RESPECT AND TOLERANCE

The Omenaa Foundation is the initiator and producer of a theatre play entitled “CZARNO TO WIDZĘ, czyli wymieszani, posortowani” (Eng. “THE ODDS ARE NOT GOOD, mixed and segregated”) , which touches on the subject of widely understood tolerance in Poland. The play is about important and serious things, but it is a comedy which makes the audience laugh a lot…

EVERY SHIRT HELPS

It’s a campaign carried out by Omenaa and the OMENAA FOUNDATION in partnership with the James Button start-up, which undertook to donate some of the income from each shirt sold to the school in Ghana…
