It operates an extensive media advocacy work also via the Helping Hand TV Show which for the past nine years has created an educative, entertaining and reliable media advocacy platform for promoting the rights of persons with disability in Ghana.

In view of all these notable and laudable achievements in the lives of many PWDs and special needs institutions, his efforts have been recognised and celebrated both nationally and internationally.
Awards he has received include the Africa Nobles Award from the Calvary Cross Clergy Council and Bible Seminary in November 2019 and a humanitarian award at the Ghana Leadership Awards in October 2020.
Earlier this year, Bishop Dr Charles Hackman, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of DV Unlimited Company Limited, received the award for the Industrial Chemical Manufacturing Company of the Year in this year’s Africa’s Most Respected CEOs Awards in Dubai.
Since its inception, the company has been a major partner of the H4P Organisation in the promotion of the fundamental human rights and privileges of persons with disabilities.
His receipt of the 2021 Timothy Bowles African Human Rights Award further attests to the fact that his leadership and achievements are worth recognising and celebrating.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has congratulated the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on the successful election of its new national executives.
In a statement signed by its General Secretary, Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the NDC said it remained committed to promoting peaceful political engagement and democratic values in Ghana.
The party stressed the need for all political actors to work together to protect and deepen the country’s democratic gains.
The NDC expressed hope that the new NPP executives would work to ensure that the national interest takes precedence over the interests of the two major political parties.
“It is the fervent hope of the NDC that under the tenure of this new crop of executives, there will be mutual effort to ensure that the interest of Ghana always surpasses the narrow interest of the two respective parties,” the statement said.
The NDC added that such cooperation would contribute to efforts to make Ghana “great and strong.”

Alfred Ababio Kumi, popularly known as Adenta Kumi, has accepted defeat in his bid to become the National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Mr Kumi polled 25 votes in the contest, which was won by Abanga Fuseini Yakubu with 1,550 votes. Clement Opoku Gyamfi placed second with 631 votes, while Michael Osei Boateng polled 78 votes. Chris Lloyd Nii Kwei Asamoah obtained 46 votes, with Vera Oye Bram Larbi securing 44 votes.
The election was held at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on Saturday, October 3, 2026, as part of the NPP’s National Delegates Conference.
The colourful event brought together delegates from across the country to elect new national executives for the party.
In a statement following the election, Mr Kumi openly acknowledged his defeat, saying he would not blame anyone or make excuses for the outcome.
“I failed. The party has spoken, and I accept the verdict,” he stated.
He congratulated Mr Abanga and the other successful aspirants, wishing them well in their service to the party.
Mr Kumi said the election had taught him that popularity, sacrifice and hard work alone were not enough to win an election.
According to him, resources, organisation, strategy and preparation also play an important role, adding that he had underestimated their importance.
“I lost an election. I will not lose the lesson. I accept my failure. I will study it, learn from it, rebuild and come back wiser,” he said.
He thanked his supporters, family and the Almighty God for their support throughout his campaign.
Mr Kumi further acknowledged those who discouraged or criticised him during the campaign, including those who criticised him on X, saying they had contributed to the lessons he had learnt from the contest.
