In an effort to ease the plight of disadvantaged children in our communities, staff of the Mimi Angel Adom Foundation, a non-governmental organization with offices in the USA and Ghana on Wednesday, September 12, 2018, made a donation worth thousands of cedis to the Nyamedua children’s home.

The items donated to the orphanage home comprised bags of rice, gallons of cooking oil, soft drinks, toys, clothes, bags of sachet water, confectioneries and other toiletries.

Speaking on behalf of the foundation at a brief presentation ceremony held at the orphanage, Chief Executive Officer of Mimi Angel Adom Foundation, Miss Agnes Adusei known in media circles as Mimi Angel, stated that, the donation forms part of her Foundation’s initiative to support the poor, needy and underprivileged in the society.

Agnes, who also doubles as a radio presenter for Golden Radio 93.5 FM in Worcester, Massachusetts also indicated that her motivation for setting up the organization in 2017 was out of sheer passion to give back to the society to ease the pressure on government.

She however maintained that, though she is currently based in the United States, she is hopeful with the help of her colleagues in Ghana, she can use her contacts and influence to the benefits of the children to increase their prospects in life.

Receiving the items on behalf of the delighted children, Mr. Paul Anaba, Founder and General Manager of Nyamedua Children’s home, expressing his gratitude opined that the donation will go a long way to help the inmates at the facility and bolster their depleted supplies.

“We have a lot of shortfalls as an orphanage and this kind gesture will be a great relief for us. We are grateful to all those who supported this donation and made it a reality,” he said.

He also used the opportunity to call on other organizations to come to their aid stating that it is only with such help that the home can thrive effectively.

The Nyamedua children’s home which is located at Ashale Botwe - Accra is recognized as a foster home by the Department of Social Welfare. It was established in 2005, and provides shelter for over 30 destitute and abandoned children.
