About Me
I am Deborah Dzifah Tamakloe, an Author, OVC advocate, host of the “Share to Stir” show, and an Entrepreneur. I grew up in the Baptist School Complex and Orphanage in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
As a survivor of a broken home, I have had a remarkable life journey that presents the possibility of rising from utter despair to hope. Facing these obstacles in my own life instilled in me a passionate drive to fight for those in the situation I used to be in.
Having been moved beyond tears by the stories of the children I grew up with, I promised to give them the voice they did not have. I had secondary education at Ghana Senior High School and hold an MPhil in Agricultural Economics from the University of Ghana. I founded the Charis Touch Foundation, an NGO supporting orphans and vulnerable children (OVC).
I was honoured with the 2020 Amazing Woman Award for my humanitarian work in Ghana. When not writing, I read, cook, visit care homes, and listen to my favourite Hillsong worship songs. I am also an Ashoka changemaker, an African Changemaker Alumni, a Kectil Fellow, a Mentor, and a USAID CECA Care Leaders Council member.
This website is the evolution of my life and career over the last decade. You’ll find posts about orphans, vulnerable children, and more here. My intention with every post is to share stories on child welfare so you can be a voice.
The best part about the blog? It’s all free content. I hope you find it helpful and you’ll check out my other sites and social feeds, which all have different content to share. I am married to Yerebakia Choro and pursuing an MSW degree at Dalhousie University.
