Single parenting has come to stay as far as the world’s family system is concerned and it is quite a tough task to be handled by anyone, be it a man or a woman.

It comes with double the responsibility, as one is expected to perform the role of both a mother and a father in a child’s life.

That notwithstanding, single parents have little or no respect in our part of the world, Ghanaian society, most especially, if it did not arose from the death of a spouse.

Through, single parenting, many had lost respect in their families, some, never get the opportunity to sit close to social meetings, church leadership roles, family decision making and others had to bear the painful brunt of letting go their would-be better halve because families would not permit their sons and daughters to marry into such homes.

It is for this reason that the Reenart Foundation, a non-governmental organization(NGO) has set for itself the responsibility to help change the narrative of discrimination against single parents in the country.

Stop discrimination against sing parents

A brain child of a single parent and a philanthropic arm of the Reenart Multimedia, a multimedia firm, the foundation go by the tag “Stop Discriminating Against Single Parents” and aims to tell stories positive and different from the norm.

Among its vision and mission is to empower single parents and children born into such homes to live about the discrimination forced on them by society and live successful lives.

CEO of Reenart Multimedia speaks on stop discrimination

Sharing the foundation’s genesis with GhanaPlus.com, the Chief Executive Officer of Reenart Multimedia, the mother company of the foundation, Ms Irene Nartey said the foundation was born out of the painful experiences of single parents in the Ghanaian society which was becoming one too many .

“Society view this group of people as second hand individuals when it’s come to decision making, during social meetings, church activities, family decisions contributions etc. Some families won’t even allow their sons or daughters marry this group of people and so the whole aim is to promote and showcase more positive content about these set of people, “she said.

Training in employable skills
She mentioned the foundation through it advocacy work would throw positive light about the lives of single parents, shoulder them in the areas of skills training in employable skills such as wig making, fashion designing, decors and many others to make them comfortable in life.

Scholarships

Ms Nartey added some children from such homes would also be offered educational scholarships to pursue their education to enable them contribute their quota to the development of their families, society and the country in general.

She explained, the foundation would also put in place programs for mentorship, networking and psychosocial well being of the single parents and their children.

“The Reenart foundation’s principle strategy includes Support Groups, Conferences, bringing nationally and locally-renowned single parent speakers as keynote presenters at events just to empower and create networking environments as well as socializing support groups, seminars and training programs, such as wig making, fashion designing, decors, etc one on one consultations, resources services and annual scholarship award program for some children”, the CEO of Reenart Multimedia told GhanaPlus.com.

Single parenting is a global phenomenon and Gallup World Poll report last year it is sharply higher in Sub-Sahara Africa.

The study placed the Sub-Sahara Africa at a rate of 32% as against North America’s 24% and America’s 19%.

In 2019 however, a study of 130 countries and territories by the Pew Research Center report, the United State of America had the world’s highest rate of children living in single-parent households.

The study rate the country’s figure at 23% as against Canada’s 15% , Nigeria’s 5%, India’s 4% and China’s 3%.

In Ghana, it is estimated some 30% of children find themselves in single parent homes.

The journey throughout these 2 decades has been a worthwhile experience of many successes and hurdles in liaising between artistes and the final consumer.

Here’s to 20 more years of exceptional delivery in the Ghanaian music space!

Set to cause serious waves across not only the Ghanaian and African music scene, but the international scene at large, Ghana’s “First Lady” of afrobeats, Eazzy presents her new single, ONLY ONE featuring Kelvyn Boy

Taken from her upcoming EP , “Only One” shows Eazzy’s vulnerability..singing melodically about wanting to be the only one in her man’s life, how her heart beats for only him, and how she wants to tell the world regardless of what people say. A stark contrast from her previous release “Duna” which focused less about love and more on the sexual and physical attractions of a woman.

Multi award winning producer MOG Beatz combines Afrobeat, and pop culture with Eazzy’s distinctive vocals and mesmerising songwriting and storytelling to create a project that is undeniably a modern classic in the making. Kelvyn Boy’s verse acts like the cherry on the icing… a match made in music heaven.

Recently crowned female afrobeats artist of the decade, Eazzy, has indeed graced us with multiple hits over her ten years in the industry…but this time round, the First Lady has surprised everyone not only with her choice of featured artist, but also with the hard hitting lyrics and a top notch video to rival any international hit maker!!!

The exciting thing about Eazzy is that she has been putting in more work into her music career and now that she is currently under new management, UK based BBVIP, plans are underway for her to work with top-notch producers in the industry to produce her best body of work to date. She has always been ahead of her time and is destined to ascend to stratospheric heights.
