Nana Prof. Osei Darkwa III is a personality whose numerous achievements in academia and traditional leadership are yet to be celebrated publicly in the country.

However, his astronomical philanthropic transformation story of his village—Patriensa— in the Asante Akim District of the Ashanti Region has been hailed locally and globally.

A Professor and a traditional ruler, Nana Osei Darkwah III has been instrumental in using his own resources to bring significant development in the areas of agriculture, education, employment, health and technology to his people.

His changing lives story was highlighted prominently in the sixth episode of the ongoing Season III of the MTN Heroes of Change.

The project was initiated in July 2013 to recognise and reward persons who have provided significant humanitarian services to their communities through personal sacrifices.

Prof. Nana Darkwa III was chosen by his people to participate in this year’s MTN Heroes of Change which is currently aired on GTV every Saturday at 5:30 p.m.,; Multi TV on Sundays at 5:00pm; TV3 on Sundays at 6:30 p.m.,; and GhOne on Sundays at 7:00 pm .

The purpose of the TV shows is to highlight the humanitarian activities of  Prof. Nana Darkwa III and the nine other contestants for the ultimate cash prize of GH¢100,000.

The ultimate Hero of Change winner will receive GH¢100,000 to support his/her community project.

Three selected winners for the various categories will receive GH¢20,000 each, while the remaining six finalists will also take home GH¢5,000 each.

Explaining the rationale behind his investments in the farming community, Nana Prof. Darkwah III who is also the President of Ghana Technology University College, said he was doing that to improve the living standards of the people.

“I believe that all the charity projects will improve the lives of my people”, he stated.

“I am from here and I have known the needs of this village from my childhood. I already had plans of developing this village to a city standard, thus, all that I lacked growing up will be available for the young ones growing up.

…After I ascended the throne in the year 2014, I called all leaders of this village and showed them the plans I had and where I want to see Patriensa in five years time”, Nana Prof. Darkwah III who is a renowned Ghanaian ICT expert further  stated.

These projects, according to him have created direct employment for over 147 people in the village and several indirect jobs.

The MTN Ghana Foundation is the corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm of MTN Ghana, the leading telecoms service provider in the country.
