Items and cash worth over three hundred thousand Ghana cedis (GH¢300,000) have been donated to Motherly Love Orphanage in Kwabenya by the Chinese community in Ghana, in collaboration with UNESCO Ghana.

The donation ceremony took place on December 27, 2025. According to the donors, the support forms part of a continuous effort to improve the children’s health and education, enhance living conditions at the orphanage, and give them hope for a brighter future.

Items presented included medical supplies, educational materials, food items such as bags of rice, cartons of cooking oil and drinks, more than 70 mattresses, and other essential supplies.

The initiative, dubbed the “Love in Action” charity project, brought together the Chinese community in Ghana, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO-Ghana), members of the international community, and a team of Chinese doctors to provide both material support and compassionate care to the children at Motherly Love Orphanage.

A medical team was also on hand during the ceremony to provide free medical screening for the children.

Speaking at the event, UNESCO’s Representative to Ghana, Edmond Moukala, expressed appreciation to the Chinese community in Ghana and the 14th China Medical Team for their sustained commitment to the initiative.

“I just want to highlight that your support has been essential. You’ve supported medical needs, education, the renewal of the home, and financial donations, including help with computers. The list is really enormous. In short, you have been contributing in ways that are making their lives better and their education stronger. Some of them now even want to learn Chinese and pursue scholarships in China,” Edmond said.

The Director of the orphanage, Reverend John Azumah, also expressed gratitude to the Chinese community in Ghana and the 14th China Medical Team for their continued support and compassion towards the home.

The donation exercise was sponsored by the China Enterprises Chamber of Commerce, Ghana China Northeast Industrial and Commercial Joint Association, Ghana Shandong Industrial and Commercial Association, Chinese Ghana Women Association, Softcare Manufacturing Company Limited, Greenhouse International Development Group Ghana, JQ Packaging Ghana Limited, and several other institutions that contributed cash and items to support the orphanage.

Motherly Love Orphanage was established over 16 years ago to provide a safe and caring environment for children affected by HIV. The facility currently houses about 61 children.

The home caters for HIV-positive orphans who have lost their parents to the disease and are living with the virus themselves.
