Dancehall artiste, Samini has set the pace to fight domestic violence with his recently launched foundation, Obimbra Foundation.

In an interview on the Monday edition of Showbiz Agenda on Zylofon FM, Samini explained the motive behind setting up the foundation.

He expressed that the issue of domestic violence especially sexual abuse has in recent times, been in the rise, and his foundation hopes to put in measures to curb the act and also get victims to speak up.

“Rape has always been one of the leading problems worldwide. But how often do we hear victims speak up. I set up my foundation to help victims of sexual abuse to speak up as well as bring perpetuators to justice”, he stated.

The musician who is fuelled by empathy says the foundation, which was birth from his song titled, “Obimbra”, built upon the Akan word which means cry for help, is to provide physical, mental and financial support to people who suffer sexual abuse.
