The Fallon Foundation, in partnership with the Ministry of Gender, Ayemoede Foundation, and Penyman Foundation, has marked World Menstrual Hygiene Day with donations of sanitary and personal care items to female inmates at the Nsawam and Akuse Female Prisons on Thursday, May 28, 2026.
At the Nsawam Female Prison, the group donated a 3-month supply of sanitary pads, washing detergents, bathing soaps, toothpaste, and toothbrushes.
The Akuse Female Prison received a 6-month supply of sanitary pads, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and detergents.
The initiative aims to support the health, dignity, and wellbeing of incarcerated women and ensure they do not struggle through menstrual cycles without proper care.
The partners reaffirmed their commitment to supporting women in prisons across Ghana and said they plan to adopt and visit more prisons to address menstrual hygiene challenges among inmates.
The Fallon Foundation and its partners are also appealing to the public to support the cause through an “Adopt a Prisoner” donation drive.
Individuals can contribute from GHS 25 monthly via the Foundation’s shortcode and donation links to provide sanitary pads and other essentials to female inmates nationwide.
“Together, we can restore dignity, promote hygiene, and remind every woman that she is seen, valued, and cared for,” the group stated.

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.
