Mystic Twins Foundation donates to the Gambaga Witch Camp

The Mystic Twins Foundation has extended its humanitarian outreach to northern Ghana, donating items to women at the historic Gambaga Witch Camp as part of efforts to support marginalised communities and restore dignity to survivors of stigma and exclusion.

The donation formed part of the foundation’s broader outreach programme aimed at supporting vulnerable groups across the country through humanitarian assistance and social intervention.

The Gambaga Witch Camp, located in the North East Region, has for decades served as a refuge for women accused of witchcraft and ostracised from their families and communities.

Although public advocacy and humanitarian support have improved conditions at the settlement over the years, many of the women continue to face social stigma and isolation.

During the visit, the foundation donated assorted items to residents of the camp and interacted with community leaders and caretakers.

Managers of the camp expressed appreciation to the foundation, describing the gesture as timely and encouraging for the more than 100 women currently living at the settlement.

Speaking during the outreach, founders of the Mystic Twins Foundation, Nana Akwasi Agyemang Panyin, also known as McKenzie, and Nana Akwasi Agyemang Kakra, known as McMaine, said the initiative was inspired by the need to show solidarity with women who have endured years of rejection and hardship.

“Historically, the Gambaga Witch Camp has been a place marked by centuries of stigma and pain. Women who found themselves there were forced to live out the rest of their days in isolation, not because of wrongdoing, but due to fear and cultural misconceptions,” they said.

The pair added that although progress has been made in changing public perception, many vulnerable women still face neglect and discrimination.

“Our visit was meant to be a quiet gesture of solidarity. We brought gifts, love, and above all, a reminder that these women are seen and not forgotten,” they stated.

The foundation also used the occasion to call for greater compassion and inclusion towards vulnerable persons across society.

The Mystic Twins Foundation has in recent years undertaken several charitable activities across Ghana, including support for patients and new mothers at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.

According to the foundation, its interventions are intended to provide relief and restore hope to people facing difficult circumstances.

The founders, who are widely known for their spiritual work and private counselling, said they remain committed to humanitarian service and social impact initiatives across the country.
