Orphanage receives gifts from Christian Women Group

Denase (Ash), Sept 28, GNA – Local assemblies must support orphanages located within their jurisdiction.

Nana Boafo Konadu-Yiadom, Founder of the Ashan Children’s Home in Denase in the Afigya-Kwabre District, said the State had to take some responsibility for the feeding and schooling of orphans.

Most of the orphanages are in the hands of private operators and heavily depend on charity for survival.

Nana Konadu-Yiadom, who was receiving gifts of second-hand clothing, diapers and toiletries from the Women’s Ministry of the House of Prayer Evangelistic Ministry at Susanso in Kumasi, said the situation would have to improve.

Mrs Vida Boadi, President of the Ministry, said as Christians they were enjoined by their faith to help take care of the poor and the needy.

The donation was to make life a little comfortable for the socially disadvantaged children, she said and pledged regular visits to the Home.
