A shy, very private, and soft spoken Charity Durowaa had a dream.
That dream has come to make her known as “Kasoa” because of her passion to provide cultural foods to Blacks in Alberta through her grocery store “Kasoa Tropical Food Market”. Ms. Durowaa wanted to provide the same freshness, taste, aroma, appetite, and excitement know for our foods back home.
Charity has accomplished that dream by developing, the largest Afro-Caribbean grocery store in Alberta, employing 15 staff.
She has diversified into a Filipino Store, called “Mama’s Bodega” for our Filipino brothers and sisters. She has not stopped there.
She recently opened Kasoa South to take care of the food needs of our brothers and sisters in the south of the city.
Ms. Durowaa has also opened an elegant all-in-one beauty store called “Marvelous” next to her Kasoa South grocery store. She supports numerous events in the community such as Afro Fest, Black History Month, Africa Soccer Tournament, Cameroon independence, The Red Cross, Kaleido Festival. Charity is full of passion for her community and attends many events. Charity is married and has a son.
