NGO donates to Bawjiase orphanage

A NON-Governmental Organisation (NGO), Love for Children Campaigners, has donated GH¢2,000 and assorted items worth GH¢800 to the Bawjiase Orphanage in the Central Region.
The items which included toothpaste, bread, bags of rice and other items was to complement what the home had to offer the children.
According to the Executive Director of the NGO, Prophetess Elizabeth Ansah Jamson, the items were the NGO’s annual contribution to the children, who through no fault of theirs had become orphans.
Prophetess Ansah Jamson said the NGO was established by the Israel King of Jews Church as the church's contribution to make life at the home worth living for the children.
For his part, the Founder and General Overseer of the Israel King of Jews Church, Prophet Nakoa Ansah Jamson bemoaned the situation in the country where many people had a lot to live on while others had nothing to eat even for a day.
Prophet Ansah Jamson advised the government to promulgate a law that would mandate churches and organisations to contribute a quota of their income for the upkeep of orphanages in the country.
That, he said, would reduce the burden on the keepers of the home.
He also appealed to individuals and organisations to go to the aid of the home to facilitate the holistic upbringing of the children.
Prophet Ansah Jamson called on the public to disabuse their minds of the notion that spiritual churches only abused the rights of persons who were brought to their places of worship. "I don’t chain people here; I only use messages from God and His word to address social issues," he added.
He pledged the support of the NGO and the church to help the home.
Mrs Emma Boafo who received the items and cash, said support from NGOs and individuals were only sent to some selected homes in the country, and indicated "we all need the support and donations to keep the home functioning".
She expressed gratitude to the leaders of the church and the NGO for the donation and called on others to follow their example.
Mrs Boafo said the home had over the years struggled to take care of the children in the orphanage and, therefore, needed assistance for their upkeep.
