A Ghanaian residing in the USA, Naana Donkor Arthur has turned her life around through the power of social media. She is a content creator, master of ceremonies, promoter, and philanthropist.

However, it is her deeply personal journey with her 15-year-old son Charlton, who is on the autism spectrum, which has defined her path and inspired many.

Charlton, Naana’s eldest among her four children, has autism, a condition that has brought immense challenges to their family.

Despite the joy of raising three other children, including a set of twins, Charlton’s condition has been a constant source of emotional strain for Naana. She often found herself overwhelmed with tears, praying fervently for her son’s healing.

Amid the struggles, Naana discovered a lifeline in social media. What started as a means of distraction soon became a therapeutic outlet.

Through platforms like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook, she began sharing her story and connecting with others who understood her journey.

The interactions with her followers provided her with solace and a sense of community that she desperately needed.

“Social media became my therapy,” Naana shares.

“It was a place where I could express my fears, my hopes, and my prayers. The support and understanding from my followers were overwhelming. They lifted me when I felt like I couldn’t go on.”

Naana’s candidness and resilience quickly resonated with many, particularly parents of autistic children. Her platform grew, not just as a space for sharing her experiences but as a beacon of hope and inspiration.

She began offering advice and support, sharing resources, and even making donations to families in similar situations.

Her journey from a place of despair to one of empowerment has inspired countless others to find strength and hope.

In addition to her social media impact, Naana has made significant strides in philanthropy.

She is the founder of NDA Charity, a non-governmental organization in Ghana dedicated to helping the needy. Her work through NDA Charity has provided essential support to countless individuals, further cementing her commitment to making a difference.

“Helping others has always been a part of me,” Naana says.

“Through NDA Charity, I want to give back to my community in Ghana and make a tangible difference in people’s lives. It’s about spreading hope and love, just as I’ve received it.”

Naana Donkor Arthur’s story is a powerful reminder of the transformative power of community and compassion.

Through social media, she found not only a means to cope with her challenges but also a platform to inspire and support others.

Her journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the incredible impact one individual can have on the lives of many.

As Naana continues to share her story and extend her hand to those in need, she embodies the true essence of philanthropy and the power of social media to change lives. For many, she is not just a content creator or a promoter; she is a beacon of hope and a source of strength.
