Three years after his enstoolment as Wiamoase Ahenemma Hene, Nana Pim-Wusu Ansah is steadily redefining leadership through community development and youth empowerment initiatives. At the heart of his vision is the Nana Pim-Wusu Ansah Foundation, a platform dedicated to equipping underprivileged youth in Wiamoase with practical skills for sustainable livelihoods.
In a significant milestone, ten beneficiaries under the foundation have graduated after completing a two-year professional training programme during the recent Easter celebrations. The initiative, fully funded by the foundation, covered hairdressing as well as complementary skills such as make-up, pedicure, and manicure.
By absorbing all associated costs, the foundation removed financial barriers and enabled participants to fully focus on acquiring employable skills. The graduation ceremony served as both a celebration of achievement and excellence, with awards presented to outstanding trainees in recognition of their dedication and performance.
Nana Pim-Wusu Ansah, who attended the event in person, presented the awards and delivered a motivational address. He urged the graduates to remain disciplined, entrepreneurial, and focused on building sustainable livelihoods with the skills they had acquired.
He also raised concern about the growing misuse of auto rickshaws, popularly known as “Pragya,” by underage riders, warning that the trend is contributing to road accidents. He called on authorities to enforce stricter regulations to improve public safety.
Beyond vocational training, the foundation has also supported several individuals in pursuing higher education in various universities, reflecting a broader vision of human capital development that combines technical and academic advancement.
The foundation’s interventions also extend to areas such as tiling and electrical works, aimed at equipping more young people with marketable skills to reduce unemployment and discourage social vices including drug abuse and teenage pregnancy.
Although Nana Pim-Wusu Ansah has supported youth development over the years, this marks the first time the initiative has been implemented on such a large scale. He assured the chiefs and people of Wiamoase that the programme is not a one-off intervention but a sustained effort that will continue to expand.
The ceremony was attended by traditional leaders and dignitaries, including Nana Boakye Yiadom, Chief of Wiamoase, and Nana Oforiwaa Amanfo, the Queen Mother of Wiamoase. Also present were Dr. Osei Kwame Kotoko, members of the Wiamoase diaspora, and other distinguished guests.
In a touching moment, a community member received a wheelchair donation, underscoring the foundation’s inclusive approach to empowerment and social support.
Through strategic investment in skills development, education, and community welfare, Nana Pim-Wusu Ansah continues to position Wiamoase as a model for sustainable, people-centered development.
