AJ’s Help The Needy Project has donated assorted food items to widows in Deveme in the Okere District of the country.
It was aimed at supporting the vulnerable women and assuring them of the NGOS’s love and care.
The donated items included bags of rice, oil, boxes of mackerel, biscuits and some soft drinks.
Founder of AJ’s Help The Needy Project, Anita Opoku-Appiah said donating to vulnerable groups, especially widows had been her heart desire due to the stigmatisation and hardship such people face in some communities.
“Women go through a lot and the plight of poor widows is quite enormous. Some of them have challenges of taking good care of their children after their husbands die. This is heartbreaking and the reason we have taken it upon ourselves to support such persons occasionally,” she added.
She also urged the public to desist from taking widows through cruel widowhood rites, which are common in many rural areas.
Wrong accusations of widows, she said, should also not be encouraged.
The widows, receiving the items tanked the NGO for the generous act and hoped for more of such support as often as possible.
The main aim of the AJ’S Help The Needy Project is to make generous donations to the less privileged in the society especially, orphans and widows to help support them make ends meet.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
