Winner for 2014 edition of TV3’s Ghana Most Beautiful reality show, Ms Abigail Baciara Bentie aka Baci on Saturday, 30th May 2015 launched Malol- lol Ghana Foundation.
The Malol- lol Ghana Foundation which was launched at Best Western Premier Hotel in Accra is to help needy but brilliant students across the country.
The Non-Governmental Organisation before its launch last Saturday had visited some selected schools in deprived areas to provide them educational facilities.
The beauty queen speaking at the launch of the foundation said the poor condition of students in the northern part of Ghana made her establish Malol- lol Ghana Foundation.
“When I went round the Upper West Region, I realized that there are countless brilliant but needy students and that brought tears to my eyes. These students lack basic resources for their basic education and that has made me establish this foundation to help promote basic education in the country”.
