The Adwoa Safo Foundation has made a donation of assorted food and household items to the Hopeway Ministries Orphanage as part of its annual Christmas support initiative.
The items presented included 15 cartons of malt drinks, three cartons of Milo, three cartons of Ideal Milk, five bags of rice, 12 packets of biscuits, six packets of toilet rolls, 30 bags of sachet water, and 10 packets of plantain chips.
Presenting the items, the founder of the Adwoa Safo Foundation and former Member of Parliament for the Dome/Kwabenya Constituency, Sarah Adwoa Safo, explained that the donation forms part of the foundation’s yearly Christmas outreach to the orphanage, aimed at supporting and uplifting the children during the festive season.
She noted that this year’s donation was delayed due to a personal bereavement, following the passing of her father, Apostle Kwadwo Safo. Despite the delay, she reaffirmed her commitment to the orphanage and encouraged the children to remain focused, disciplined, and dedicated to their education, stressing the importance of taking their studies seriously.
Hon. Adwoa Safo further highlighted that the Adwoa Safo Foundation (ASF) runs a number of programmes and projects annually, including its orphanage donation initiative, the ASF Pad a Child Foundation, the ASF Leadership and Mentoring Programme, and the ASF Educational Material Support Programme, all aimed at empowering vulnerable groups and promoting education and leadership development.
For his part, the Director of Hopeway Ministries, Rev. Randolph Ashley, expressed profound gratitude to Hon. Adwoa Safo for her continuous support. He stated that the former MP has consistently honoured her commitment to the orphanage and has never reneged on her promise to support the home.
Rev. Ashley further appealed to the general public to come to the aid of the orphanage by extending support to the children in need. He disclosed that the home is currently constructing a library for the benefit of the children and appealed for assistance to help complete the project.
He also called on public-spirited individuals and organisations to support the orphanage with items such as dustbins to improve sanitation.
Hopeway Ministries, located in Haatso in the Greater Accra Region, currently caters for about 30 children, drawn from three main categories: the needy, persons living with disabilities, and vulnerable children from the surrounding communities who visit the home for meals.
