My name is Mercy Adwoa Adwubi Ayifah, and I am a graduate of the University of Ghana, holding a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Chinese. Growing up, I always felt a deep connection to children, especially those who didn’t have access to the same opportunities as others. I’ve always believed that sometimes, all a child needs is someone who truly sees them and cares. This passion for making a meaningful impact in their lives led me to volunteer with the Elfacares Foundation Organization in 2024, where I became involved with the Happy Arts Club and Dzidefo Girls Club.

The experience I gained during my time as a volunteer was incredibly rewarding. Working with these bright, resilient children allowed me to form deep and lasting bonds. I quickly realized that this was more than just volunteering, it was about being a part of their lives, understanding their challenges, and offering a helping hand where I could. The welcoming, supportive environment at Elfacares Foundation made it easy to grow both personally and professionally, and I was fortunate to have experienced such guidance from the organization’s amazing project and volunteer coordinators.

As I became more involved, my passion for the work continued to deepen, and I was honored to transition into the role of Volunteer and Membership Coordinator. In this capacity, I have the privilege of leading and guiding others, just as I was supported when I first started. I am committed to fostering a sense of community, ensuring that each volunteer feels valued, and empowering them to contribute meaningfully to the lives of the children we serve.

Elfacares Foundation has shaped me into a leader who believes in the power of connection and empathy, and I’m excited to continue making a difference.
