Benevolent Heart Foundation (BHF), a nongovernmental organisation has donated items to the His Majesty Happy Home at Odumase Krobo in the Eastern Region.
The gesture formed part of the organisation’s activities to support the less privileged in the society.
The items were clothes, shoes, bags of rice, boxes of oil, tinned fish, a bucket of groundnut paste, gari and an undisclosed amount of money.
Presenting the items, a member of BHF, Mr Augustine Asante said the support was a token of the organisation’s effort to improve the conditions of those in need.
He said the foundation was there to help not only orphanages but groups and individuals who are in need.
“Each year we visit communities or orphanages to support with the little we have, and this year we are here in Odumase Krobo give our widow’s mite,” Mr Asante said.
Receiving the items, the Founder of the Home, Madam Alberta Smith Asiedu said she currently has about 85 children under her care with 30 permanently living with her.
She explained that the facility was a safe haven to orphans, the needy and other children from the community since 2010.
She thanked the organisation for the donation saying the items would impact the lives of the children in the home.

Mahama promises more jobs and support for Zongo communities
President of the republic of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama has assured Muslim leaders that his government will continue to do everything possible to improve the economy and create jobs for the youth.
Speaking to a gathering of imams, Mr. Mahama emphasised the government’s main focus in education was to expand technical and vocational training so that young people could gain the skills they need to work and support themselves.
He added that special attention would be given to Muslim communities to ensure they benefit from the rollout of new training centres.
He mentioned that programmes such as Ajumawura, which offers small loans to start businesses, and the National Apprenticeship Programme, which helps especially young women to learn trades like dressmaking, would also help the youth to build a future for themselves.
On support for Zongo communities, Mr. Mahama said a coordinator and deputy had been appointed to lead the Zongo Development Fund.
He announced that they would soon begin work on a microcredit scheme called the Soya Fund.
The fund, he explained, would provide small loans to poor households in Zongo communities, especially women engaged in small-scale businesses such as selling waakye, cocoa, or running small shops.
He said artisans like dressmakers would also benefit.
The president thanked the imams for their continuous prayers for Ghana, saying their intercession had helped the country remain one of the most peaceful nations in Africa.
