Mr. Jelvis Kwame Baidoo Urges Community to Embrace Change for Growth

Change is never easy, but it is often the only path to progress. Founder and Team Lead of the Jelvis Foundation, Mr. Jelvis Kwame Baidoo, has shared a powerful message that is resonating deeply across communities: if your environment, relationships, or systems do not help you grow, it is time to make a change.

Speaking as part of his “Onnyɛ Late” (#OnnyɛLate) campaign, Mr. Baidoo emphasized the need for individuals to take charge of their own development by re-evaluating the influences around them. His words challenge everyone to think critically about the spaces they occupy and the people they surround themselves with.

He stressed:

• “If your political party doesn’t change your standard of living, change your party.”
• “If your friends don’t inspire you, change your friends.”
• “If your job doesn’t grow you, change your job.”
• “If your environment doesn’t improve you, change your environment.”
• “If your church doesn’t change you, change your church.”

These statements are more than motivational lines — they are a call to action. They reflect the Jelvis Foundation’s broader mission of empowering individuals to take control of their lives and communities through positive choices, skills training, and sustainable development initiatives.

The Jelvis Foundation believes that true transformation begins at the personal level but extends into society. When individuals choose growth, they inspire their peers, uplift families, and influence communities. This ripple effect is the foundation’s guiding philosophy: to build stronger, more self-reliant communities in Effiakuma and beyond.

From free health screenings to the ongoing community Wi-Fi project and the upcoming “Made in Effiakuma” skills training initiative, the foundation is committed to creating opportunities that enable people to thrive. Mr. Baidoo’s message ties directly to these initiatives — reminding everyone that progress demands bold decisions.

The #OnnyɛLate message (translated as “It’s not too late”) is a movement of mindset change. It encourages people to understand that no matter their past choices, it is never too late to make better decisions for a brighter future.

Mr. Baidoo’s leadership style combines practical community action with inspiring words. Through the Jelvis Foundation, he continues to lead by example — investing in people, technology, education, and empowerment to create lasting impact.

The Jelvis Foundation remains steadfast in its vision of driving growth through change. As Mr. Baidoo reminds us, growth begins with the courage to move away from what no longer serves us.

It is a lesson that speaks not only to individuals but also to communities, organizations, and the nation as a whole.

The time to choose growth is now. Onnyɛ Late.
