Profile of Ghanaian Changemaker, Official Bene

Her actual name by birth is Benedicta Brefo. Official Bene is the name popularly known by the public since her secondary school days and she thought of using it so that people can easily identify her. Benedicta was born in Kumasi, Ghana but she is from the Brong Ahafo Region. She schooled mostly in Kumasi in the Ashanti region of Ghana.

She had her primary education at Nagie’s Angels Educational Centre which is off Santasi-Kumasi road, then furthered to have her secondary school education at Kumasi Girl’s Senior High School which is also in Kumasi. She proceeded to have her 4-year degree course in Political Studies at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi-Ghana, where she began her field of world advocacy at this time through counseling and educating people about development needed in the world and changing the negative image of Ghana and Africa as a whole at the International levels.

Official Bene was trained as a TV Assistant Producer at Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC GOVERN) during her national service days. At that place, she was trained on how to plan for political programs, interviewing notable people in public, directing programs and planning programs.

She later went to pursue her Masters’ course in International Law (LLM International Law) at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge- UK. In addition to her studies, she has had International Organizations Management from the University of Geneva, International Human Rights Law from the University of Louvain, Diploma in Leadership and Management from Shaw Academy- UK and Ultimate Travel Journalism from British College of Journalism.

In all these paths, her mission for world development was broadening up and after her Masters’ course, started her long-awaited mission for the world. She started Pochangemotion, WCS (Women Caucus for Stewardship) and WOCON (World Concerns). In addition to these projects, she is a motivational speaker and writer. her blog page is www.pochangemotion.co.uk

Pochangemotion is focused on the development of the youth. With regards to this, it aims to correct the mistakes our predecessors and we the present generation have done that have brought untold burdens on us, impeding our progress. Areas for this correction include: marriage, courtship, life, religion, and all social related issues.

WCS is also a registered NGO that seeks to educate and empower women globally on legal, political, educational and financial/business fields of life. The target people for this NGO are women because women have been deprived of freedoms and education for some decades that have generated a great hole of economic breakdown in the world. She believes that if women are adequately nurtured on these 4 areas of WCS, the world will change for the better.

WOCON(World Concerns) is another project she is embarking on and the aim is to protect and prevent the entire world against present and future pandemic crises. Areas for focus include: land, environment, animals, water and all related environmental objects.

The reason is that since there is a relationship between mankind and the environment, there is a high possibility of getting affected if the environment is destroyed. The best solution for this is to find means to protect ourselves by protecting the environment.
