The Chief Executive of Engineers & Planners and Dzata Cement, Ibrahim Mahama, has generously covered the full $25,000 needed for a life-saving kidney transplant for 13-year-old Rosemary Boadu, who is battling end-stage kidney disease.
Rosemary’s story was highlighted in a JoyNews feature, 'Dialysis at 13', produced by Emmanuel Dzivenu and aired on the Super Morning Show.
The segment drew attention to the young girl’s dire situation, catching the eye of Mr. Mahama, who promptly acted to help.

Thanks to his intervention, Rosemary’s family no longer has to worry about the financial strain of the procedure.
In an interview with JoyNews, Mr. Mahama's Special Aide, Rafik Mahama, shared, “As soon as Mr. Mahama saw the video, he immediately instructed us to proceed with the payment to enable her treatment. By 9 a.m. today, the payment was completed. We wish Rosemary a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.”
Mr. Mahama’s support brings renewed hope for Rosemary and her family as they prepare for her much-needed transplant.
