Ibrahim Mahama’s Generosity Offers Hope to 10-Year-Old Battling Leukaemia
In a heartfelt display of philanthropy and compassion, celebrated Ghanaian businessman and humanitarian Ibrahim Mahama has once again touched the lives of those in need. This time, his benevolence shines on 10-year-old Lisa Laryea, a young girl whose battle with leukaemia has captured public attention, particularly on social media.

Moved by her plight, Mr. Mahama undertook a life-saving mission, covering over $110,000 in medical expenses to ensure Lisa received the urgent care she desperately needed. On Sunday, November 24, 2024, Mr. Mahama personally oversaw Lisa's journey as she and her mother departed for South Africa aboard an emergency chartered air ambulance. The trip aims to provide Lisa with specialized treatment that could significantly improve her chances of recovery.

The businessman was present at Kotoka International Airport’s Terminal 2 to facilitate the process and ensure a seamless transition for Lisa’s medical journey. The total cost of Lisa’s treatment is estimated at approximately 2 million South African Rand (USD 110,000).

Speaking about the extraordinary gesture, Rafik Mahama, a special aide to Mr. Mahama, shed light on the motivation behind the initiative. “When we learned about Lisa’s condition on social media, we knew we had to step in and help,” he explained. “Every child deserves the opportunity to live a healthy and happy life. For Mr. Ibrahim Mahama, saving lives is priceless. His empathy and commitment to humanity are unmatched.”

Rafik added that preparations for the journey began as early as 3 a.m. on Sunday to ensure Lisa was safely transported from Ridge Hospital to the airport. “Doctors are on standby in South Africa, and by God’s grace, Lisa will come back stronger,” he expressed with optimism.

For Lisa’s family, the businessman’s intervention has been a life-changing miracle. Lisa’s mother, overwhelmed with gratitude, described the relief and hope Mr. Mahama’s support has brought to their lives. “We never imagined someone of his stature would care so deeply about our daughter’s health. He has given Lisa the gift of hope, and we will be forever grateful,” she said with emotion.

This selfless act has resonated across Ghana, garnering widespread admiration and respect. Many have commended Mr. Mahama for stepping forward to help a young girl in need, describing his generosity as a powerful reminder of the impact of kindness.

As Lisa embarks on her journey toward healing, the support from Ibrahim Mahama serves as an inspiring testament to the power of compassion. His remarkable gesture not only offers a glimmer of hope to Lisa and her family but also sets an example for society, illustrating that acts of kindness—whether grand or small—have the potential to transform lives.
