Anglican Mothers’ Union donates food, essentials to Street Academy
The Mothers’ Union of the Anglican Church of Ghana has once again demonstrated its commitment to supporting the underprivileged, with their annual donation and visit to the Street Academy in Accra.
The Union, led by its President, Mother Wilhelmina Graven, presented a variety of food items and other essentials to the school in a bid to ease the burden on the children and their caretakers as the academic year begins.
Among the supplies donated were a bag of rice, a bag of beans, cartons of tomato paste, assorted drinks, biscuits, sugar, drugs, Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS), and other provisions meant to support the welfare of the children.
The visit was marked not only by the act of giving but also by an interactive session with the children.
Mother Graven expressed her delight at the warm welcome she received, noting that many of the pupils fondly remembered her from previous visits. She encouraged the children to hold on to the lessons they had been taught over the years and to remain disciplined in their studies and daily lives.
As part of the day’s activities, members of the Union delivered talks aimed at nurturing the holistic development of the children.
Mother Lauren Watson-Quartey addressed the pupils on the sensitive subject of sexual education, urging them to abstain and make responsible choices for their future.
Mother Hilda Commey also engaged the children on matters of health and hygiene, stressing the importance of personal cleanliness in preventing disease.
The event further featured a short but impactful sermon by Rev. Father K. B. Asante, who reminded the children of the value of obedience both at school and at home. He emphasised that obedience was the foundation of discipline and success, urging the children to listen to their teachers and parents as a way of preparing themselves for a brighter future.
The Mothers’ Union reaffirmed their commitment to continuing this annual tradition of service, pledging to remain a source of encouragement and support to the children of the Street Academy.
On behalf of the Street Academy, Mrs Irene Attoh, the Assistant Director, received the items and expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Mothers’ Union. She commended their consistency and kindness, noting that their annual donations go a long way in sustaining the children’s education and well-being.
“We at the Street Academy strongly believe in the act of giving, and we are deeply grateful to the Mothers’ Union for making this tradition part of their mission. Their generosity not only supports our children materially but also inspires them to live with hope and purpose,” Mrs Attoh remarked.

A leading member of the newly rebranded United Party, also known as UP, Hopeson Adorye, has called on Ghanaians who feel dejected or oppressed in politics to join the new party, describing it as a better political home for all.
He made these remarks at the launch and rebranding of the Movement for Change into the United Party (UP) at the Coconut Grove Hotel in Accra on Thursday, October 16.
Mr. Adorye explained that the party was fully ready to serve as an alternative political force to address Ghana’s challenges.
He noted that the UP leadership was focused and determined to change the country’s political structure and bring meaningful transformation.
He stated that the party’s vision was to build a united Ghana, stressing that without unity, the nation could not make real progress.
According to him, the mission of the UP was to create a prosperous country where every citizen could provide for themselves and their families.
Mr. Adorye emphasised that the new party was not formed to destroy any existing political organization but to contest and win elections to bring about the needed change.
He expressed confidence that many Ghanaians from different political backgrounds, including those dissatisfied with their current parties, would join UP+ because of its values and inclusive ideology.
He added that the party was building its structures from the grassroots and hoped to complete them by the end of the year as part of efforts to strengthen its national presence.
The Founder of the United Party (UP), Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen, also addressed the gathering and reflected on the transformation of the Movement for Change into the UP+.
He explained that the rebranding marked a new phase of political renewal, symbolized by the monarch butterfly in the party’s logo, which represents transformation, resilience, and endurance.
Mr. Kyerematen noted that the colors of the party yellow, black, and white stood for Ghana’s gold resources, the black star of Africa, and purity, respectively.
He stated that the UP stands for ethical leadership, integrity, and unity, adding that many of its members entered politics to serve the nation, not for personal gain.
He revealed that the party’s Great Transformational Plan (GTP), which has received global recognition, would guide the UP+ government when elected.
“The plan is designed to stabilize the economy, reduce the national debt, and promote industrial growth through ten strategic anchor industries” he added.
He explained that the health policy would emphasize preventive care, community-based services, and the inclusion of traditional and herbal medicine, which many Ghanaians rely on.
Mr. Kyerematen further stated that the UP would promote a strong Pan African agenda, explaining that Ghana’s prosperity must be tied to the wellbeing of the entire continent.
He noted that the party believes in Ghana first, and its policies were anchored on uniting the country and restoring hope in national development.

Flagbearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has appealed to the rank and file of the party to rally behind him as he prepares to lead the party in the 2028 elections.
Addressing delegates in Sene East during his campaign tour, he highlighted key contributions to the party.
He revealed that at the behest of former president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, he left his job at the Bank of Ghana to work for the NPP.
According to him, many asked him to rescind the decision. However, because of his loyalty to the party, he resigned from the bank to be their running mate.
He added that at the African Development Bank, he resigned in 2012 just to serve the party at the highest level.
“I defended the party in 2012. We lost, but I stayed in Ghana to put pressure on John Dramani Mahama and the NDC,” he added.
He is therefore urging the party to choose continuity and to back his leadership.
