Through the Health Engagement and Access Link (HEAL) Programme, the Gold Fields Ghana Foundation, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Tarkwa, Unilever Ghana and Diagnostic Centre Limited, brought healthcare and breast cancer awareness closer to the people of Samahu and Abekoase.

As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, community members were sensitised on breast cancer, learned the importance of early detection and timely treatment and got screened.

With an investment of over GHS 600,000, we brought critical healthcare directly to the people. The impact was significant:

✅ 730+ medical screenings conducted
✅ 180+ women screened for breast cancer
✅ 21 suspected cases referred for further medical attention
✅ 930+ NHIS registrations and renewals completed

At Gold Fields, we believe access to quality healthcare is an investment in stronger, healthier and more resilient communities. The programme also aligns with SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).

We believe that building future-ready talent requires more than technical expertise.

That's why the Gold Fields Ghana Foundation recently organised a two-day intensive career development workshop for our Graduate Trainees, equipping them with the practical skills and tools needed to thrive in today’s competitive job market.

The workshop covered key areas including understanding the modern workplace, career planning and personal branding, CV writing and job application techniques and interview preparation.

Through interactive sessions, trainees gained valuable insights into employer expectations, professional conduct, effective communication, and strategies for standing out in the job market.

They also received practical guidance on crafting compelling CVs, navigating recruitment processes and developing a growth mindset for long-term career success.

By complementing technical training with essential career skills, we are helping young professionals build confidence, strengthen their employability and prepare for successful careers.

To commemorate Ada Lovelace Day, the Gold Fields Ghana Foundation, in collaboration with the Ghana Education Service, brought together parents, teachers, and Junior High School students for an engaging career guidance programme focused on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

The programme reached over 120 JHS 3 students, equipping them with valuable insights as they prepare for the next stage of their educational journey.

Past and current beneficiaries on the scholarship programme, together with Graduate Trainees, shared their personal experiences and introduced students to the exciting opportunities available through STEM education. Their message was simple but powerful: work hard, stay focused and believe in your ability to succeed.

Students also received guidance on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) pathways, learning how technical and vocational skills can open doors to employment, entrepreneurship and lifelong career opportunities.

As the world celebrates the achievements of women in STEM through Ada Lovelace Day, we remain committed to empowering young people, especially girls, to pursue their ambitions without limits and to build the skills needed for the future.

180 teachers and pupils from schools in our host communities have been equipped with essential first aid and emergency preparedness skills through a comprehensive training programme designed to strengthen community safety and readiness.

Implemented following recommendations from a review of Gold Fields’ Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan for tailings management, the training covered Tailings Management guidelines, standards and procedures, alongside practical sessions on basic first aid and emergency response. Participants also revisited key lessons from the 2024 tailings emergency simulation exercise.

More than 100 farmers under the Gold Fields Ghana Foundation’s Community Oil Palm Project (COPP) have received intensive training on the effective use of organic fertilisers as part of efforts to promote sustainable farming and improve long-term crop productivity.

The three-day training brought together farmers from Samahu, Tebe, Huniso, Pepesa and Awudua, equipping them with practical knowledge on best agronomic practices and the benefits of organic fertiliser application. Participants were encouraged to embrace sustainable farming methods that enhance soil fertility and boost yields.

The training was also extended to officers of the Tarkwa Local Prisons, where the Foundation recently supported the establishment of a 20-acre oil palm plantation under its Prisons Agro-Support and Empowerment (PASE) Project, reinforcing its commitment to creating inclusive and impactful livelihood opportunities.

Facilitated by experts from Green-Gro Limited and the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, the training reflects the Foundation’s commitment to empowering farmers and contribution to sustainable economic growth in our host communities.

Since 2022, the Gold Fields Ghana Foundation has supported 544 oil palm farmers with farm inputs, including high-yield tenera oil palm seedlings, weedicides and personal protective equipment.

Access to reliable electricity is essential for thriving communities, growing businesses and improved quality of life. To support this, the Gold Fields Ghana Foundation has donated nine electricity transformers, valued at over GHS1 million, to communities within our operational area.

The transformers were donated to Samahu, Abekoase, Benso, Awudua, as well as the Tarkwa and Abosso Stadium, to help address electricity supply challenges and frequent power interruptions. The intervention is also intended to meet the increasing energy demands of households, businesses, community facilities and other public infrastructure.

This investment reflects the Foundation’s unwavering commitment to community development. Over the past two decades, the Gold Fields Ghana Foundation has invested more than US$113 million in education, health, water and sanitation, agriculture and infrastructure.

By partnering with communities and key stakeholders, the Foundation continues to drive sustainable development initiatives that improve livelihoods and enhance the wellbeing of people in our host communities.
