Miss Malaika 2010, Ama Nettey will formally unveil her pioneering project on the 5th of November, 2011 at the grand finale of Miss Malaika 2011 in Accra.
The project tagged ‘Ama Nettey Help the Lepers Project’ (ANHLP) is Miss Nettey’s audacious initiative to address the challenges plaguing people affected by leprosy. ANHLP seeks to end discrimination and other human rights violations people affected by leprosy go through in Ghana and other parts of Africa. This project will be officially announced at the grand finale of Miss Malaika 2011 but the actual formal launch will held in June 2012 at a grand event in New York, USA.
This was contained in a statement signed by Miss Ama Nettey in Accra on Wednesday. The statement said the announcement on November 5th will outline a plan to set up a centre called ‘Ama Nettey Hope Centre for Lepers’ and also feature a video documentary on the project.
Miss Nettey envisioned the campaign for leprosy during the Miss Malaika 2010 Reality series when contestants visited the Weija Leprosarium in Accra. On the final night of the pageant on 16th October 2010, during the speech session, she declared a campaign to end discrimination and other human right violations faced by people affected with leprosy in Ghana and around the world.
