Dr. Agnes Ayisha, a presidential candidate hopeful for Ghana’s 2028 general elections and founder of Dr. Ayisha’s Pain Clinic, on New Year’s Day spread joy to children at the Fafraha Foster Home in the Greater Accra Region as part of the New Year festive celebrations.

Dr. Ayisha, who is also the founder and leader of the political organization, Liberation of National Youth for Change, made the donation as part of her long-standing commitment to supporting vulnerable children across the country.

The visit brought excitement and happiness to the 21 children living at the home, including eight girls and 13 boys. The residents range from basic school pupils to senior high and tertiary students, all placed at the facility by the Department of Social Welfare. For many of the children, the visit was a welcome reminder that they are remembered and valued during the festive season.

Speaking in an interview, Dr. Ayisha said her support for the home was not a one-time event. “This isn’t my first time of donating here. The children know me, and I’ve been doing this for a long time,” she said. “The Bible admonishes us to take care of orphans, and my aim is to put smiles on their faces.”



She donated fried rice, chicken, drinks, and water to help the children celebrate the festive season. Beyond the immediate donation, Dr. Ayisha highlighted the need for long-term investment in foster homes. “I have realized they need books, electronics, and clothing,” she said. “Government should provide recreational facilities for the entertainment of the kids. We need to support all such homes across the country, and government needs to do more.”



Linking her advocacy to her political vision, Dr. Ayisha stated that child welfare would be a priority if she is elected president in 2028. “In other countries, support for such children is overwhelming. If I get the nod of the people as president, I will advance the facilities of these homes so the children feel at home and not left behind,” she said.



She concluded by advising the children to study hard, aspire high in life, and assured caregivers of her encouragement to continue giving their best in nurturing Ghana’s future leaders.

Speaking to the press, Adu Amoako, father and manager of the Fafraha Foster Home, expressed deep appreciation for the gesture and provided insight into the history and needs of the facility. “The home was founded in the late 1970s by Ghanaian and German missionaries,” he said. “It was previously located at Adabraka in Accra and later relocated to its current site. Since then, the home has survived largely through the generosity of kind-hearted individuals who donate food items, drinks, clothing, and cash.”

Despite this support, Amoako explained that the home continues to face significant challenges. “The children lack textbooks for their education, which is a major concern for us,” he noted. “Today’s donation will go a long way to help. The kids are happy, and the home is happy. We are grateful to Dr. Ayisha.”

He also appealed to government agencies and the general public to assist with the provision of a urinal facility for the children, stressing the importance of proper sanitation.

He encouraged the children to remain disciplined and to make good use of the support they receive from benefactors.
