MARTIN THOMPSON NTEM FOUNDATION
Your Background Or Qualification Is Not What Makes You A Person Of Value. What Makes You Important Is The Impact You Have Had And That You Can Have In The Lives Of Men And Women Around You.
Martin and his team have over the years embarked on social, education, and developmental Projects to benefit society.
ACCESS VOLTA- VOLTAREGION.ORG
In 2018, upon graduating from the Ghana Institute of Journalism, Martin decided to start an online publication to report stories mainly about the Volta Region of Ghana; the Volta News Online
He later changed the platform to Access Volta to write and publish everything there is to know about the Volta Region. Today the voltaregion.org is still live and you can visit it to see things for yourself.
The focus of the project is to create a one click access to everything Volta from news, tourist, attractions, festivals culture and business.
SUHYEN CLASSROOM PROJECT
In 2018, Martin and his team in their own small ways decided to help the Suhyen SDA School with the little resource generated from his entrepreneurial initiatives. The dilapidated state of the school caught the attention of the philanthropist on his visit to the town as part of a community service usually held by the Keteke Ghana Club of GIJ.
The project ‘CITIZEN BUILD’ was to build a four-unit classroom block for the Suhyen SDA School in collaboration with Keteke Ghana. The school is around Koforidua in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
A durbar was held and chiefs and community members gathered to witness the start of the building. Both Martin and the Keteke Club also donated bags of cement for the start of construction. News about the project went viral and people began to develop an interest in supporting the project.
However, the project did not see light of day as Political Leaders of the area stopped the project for Government to continue.
LEARN MORE, EARN MORE
In the quest of promoting reading and learning among young students, Martin came up with a period Magazine to educate and entertain students. He had between 2013 and 2017 published over 10000 copies of his magazine as well as some books. He did not only author and published books and magazines to aid the students but he also motivated them through awards and gifts for good performance. As part of the Learn More, Earn More, project, Martin and his team has awarded over 300 students who participated in various quizzes in the Smart Eye Magazines edited and published by Martin Ntem.
His foundation also supported poor and needy students across Ghana, especially in schools they distribute the Smart Eye Magazines
