From as early as she can remember, Benedicta Kyeremah had a ball at her feet. While other children chased kites and played ampe, she could often be found practicing her kicks with makeshift goalposts in the backyard. Her love for the game was undeniable—even before she understood the rules, she knew football was a part of her soul.
One day, during a local community game, Ghana’s Dancing Teacher, Percy Jackson captured a short video of Kyeremah weaving through defenders like a pro. It was raw, powerful, and unfiltered talent. That video found its way to Facebook, and as fate would have it, the Founder of the GoldHeart Foundation, and Assistant Coach of the Ghana National Women’s Youth 18 and Epiphany Warriors FC, Ms. Gifty Ayew Asare was tagged in the comments.
Within hours, the post began gaining traction—likes, shares, and comments poured in. People couldn’t believe this level of talent was tucked away in the hills of Kwahu.
Touched by what she saw, the CEO didn’t just leave a comment—she got in her car and went to find Kyeremah.
What followed was a moment that changed Kyeremah’s life forever. The CEO of GoldHeart Foundation met with her, her teachers, and her parents. They spoke about her dreams, her challenges, and how the Foundation could support her not just as an athlete, but as a young girl with potential far beyond the pitch.
Since that day, things have shifted for Kyeremah. With support from the Foundation, she now has access to better training, gear, and mentorship
