A Homeless Mom Of Two Undergoes An Amazing Transformation After Being Found On The Streets Of Ghana
The last time the United Nations attempted to count the global number of homeless people in 2005, it was estimated that approximately 100 million people worldwide don’t have a place to live, and another 1.6 billion lack adequate housing. With urbanization, that number has only grown, and driven by poverty and other uncontrollable socio-economic difficulties, people end up on the streets fighting to survive. This is especially prominent in developing countries, and a world where everyone has a place they can call home seems unreachable.
Homeless people are stigmatized—therefore, they live their miserable lives in the shadows—but everyone has a story, and sometimes losing a home is beyond a personal choice. How often do you go up to a homeless person to them give a helping hand or simply hear them out? The De-Graft Johnson Foundation aims to change that. The charitable organization based in Ghana is trying to change lives one by one, and one of the people they gave another shot at life is Jasmine Turkson.
A homeless woman named Jasmine Turkson was found on the streets of Accra with two children in her arms and underwent a beautiful transformation. Jasmine ended up on the streets after not being able to provide shelter for her sons. Not only did she get a glamorous makeover that made her feel better, but she also was offered a new beginning with donated money and a place to stay.

On August 25 of 2020, the De-Graft Johnson Foundation shared a transformation story on Facebook saying:
“A transformation of Jasmine Turkson, a lady we found on the streets of Mccarthy Hills in Accra. De-Graft Johnson Show listened to her and decided to give her a total make-over, some money for her upkeep and a place later she can call home… We call on all of you to join the fight as we share hope with the rest of the world.”
The De-Graft Johnson Foundation is a charitable organization based in Ghana that seeks to improve the welfare and health of the disadvantaged in our society.
The organization also donated some money for her upkeep and a place the family can call home

Probably going to get down voted for this. I think she looks beautiful in both the before and after, but why is her skin tone so much lighter in the "after" photos?

Probably some photoshop magic. It would explain why her eyes are so yellow in the last pic.

It's amazing that someone was able to provide her with the support she needed... but the make over makes it all seem very shallow. We got a her a place for her children to live AND FIXED HER EYEBORWS.

Makeover seems shallow. Yeah, BUT it can also be a confidence booster for someone who's had to struggle to survive. It can bring out the inner beauty they've never had a chance to see or realize.
