Christian Atsu Memorial Foundation set to be launched in March – Twin sister confirms

Christiana Atsu Twasam, the twin sister of the late Black Stars player Christian Atsu, has announced plans for the establishment of the Christian Atsu Memorial Foundation.

The launch is set for March 2024, although the specific date has not been finalised. The foundation aims to honour Atsu’s legacy and perpetuate his philanthropic efforts, which endeared him to many beyond his achievements in football.

“We’ll launch the Christian Atsu Memorial Foundation in March to continue his charity work,” she told the Athletic.

Christiana confirmed that she had fronted her brother’s school project, which he was building for the less privileged before his passing.

“I have the baton to continue his work, but it’s not easy. I have to heal first,” says Christiana.

Regarding how she is holding up the loss, Christiana says his brother’s death has hit her harder than losing her mom and dad.

“I know grieving has five stages, but I don’t know where I am at the moment. Sometimes I’m in denial, sometimes acceptance; it fluctuates and I feel like I’m not progressing. I’ve lost my mom and my dad, but Christian’s leaving has had more impact on me than anything.

She added that on her birthday, which also happens to be Christian’s birthday, she changed scenery to escape her grief but she ended up breaking down.

“I went to Chester. But I broke down there. He was not there.”

Christian Atsu passed away following a tragic earthquake in Turkey. The former Black Stars player was trapped under the rubble for about three days before he was found lifeless on February 8, 2023.
