Founder Muhammed "Junior" Jimbah was born in London, England into a large Ghanaian family and quickly developed a love for football through playing with cousins and the local area kids. From the age of one to four years old, Junior lived with his grandmother in the Newtown area of Accra, Ghana, and would return to Ghana every summer for the six week holiday period. Through this early foundation, his deep connection to the motherland was derived. No matter which country he was in, the commonality was football, which further cemented his love for the sport. On return visits to Ghana, Junior would play football in the local areas, his fear of standing out made him scrap his football equipment: socks, shin pads, and footwear and play barefoot like the true locals. He played like this at least up until the age of 15 and his unofficial teammates were displaying signs of true talent and potential to turn pro and play as professionals. Still, this natural talent had a void, the inability to purchase and the lack of access to sports equipment left his friends and teammates at a disadvantage. Not to mention, there were other factors such as malnutrition and access to clean drinking water looming in many areas, further plaguing these athletes, their families, and the larger community. In 2018, Junior started to use his personal funds as well as grassroots fundraising to purchase and supply sports kits to local children and athletes. Present day, what started with football, has now evolved into Ghana Aid, a non-profit organization that builds long-term solutions that positively improve family and community outcomes in Ghana.
