Elite Helping Hand Foundation feeds homesless, underprivileged in Kumasi
The Elite Helping Hand Foundation, a nongovernmental organisation, in collaboration with KOFSA Constructions, took to the streets of Kumasi to spread hope and joy among the homeless and underprivileged.
It distributed over 600 packs of food, toiletries, and clothing an act which formed part of its annual charitable initiatives aimed at ensuring inclusivity and warmth during the festive season.
The outreach began from Adum Market and moved through Kejetia Market, and ended at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. Street children, Kayayee (Head porters), and other street vendors along the stretch received packs of food, drinks, clothing and toiletries.
Established three years ago by a group of compassionate friends, the Elite Helping Hand Foundation is dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need.
Every year, the foundation undertakes projects, such as donations to orphanages and supporting vulnerable communities. This year’s theme, “Feed the Street,” highlighted the foundation’s unwavering commitment to fostering hope and inclusion.
Speaking at the end of the ceremony, coordinator of the foundation, Mr. Godwin Oppong Danso emphasised the importance of continuing to support underprivileged individuals to inspire hope for a brighter future.
Looking ahead into 2025, Mr. Danso shared the foundation’s goal of assisting new mothers in hospitals by providing essential toiletries and supplies, reaffirming their dedication to uplifting underserved communities.
The Elite Helping Hand Foundation’s efforts remain a testament to the power of compassion and collective action in transforming lives.
Ahyiresu and Abofrem, two quiet communities in the Atwima Mponua District, have been shaken to the core by a chilling midnight drama that reads like a nightmare.
A pastor and a young mother stand accused of attempting to bury a five‑month‑old baby girl alive, a crime that has ignited outrage and disbelief across the township.
According to police, Apostle Richmond Akwasi Frimpong, 36, Head Pastor of the Anointed Grace Prayer Ministry at Kuffour Camp, conspired with his uncle Emmanuel Appiah, 53, and the child’s mother, 23‑year‑old Beatrice Agyapomaa, to dispose of the infant, Anaya Achiaa, under the cover of darkness.
A fourth suspect, Emmanuel Donkor, remains on the run.
The suspects were caught near a refuse dump around 10 pm on April 9, 2026, after a vigilant resident, Akwasi Twezor, noticed their suspicious movements.
When confronted, they claimed the child was already dead and had palace approval for burial. But Twezor’s instincts proved right—the baby was still alive, gasping faintly for breath.
Chief Linguist, Nana Yaw Badu, later confirmed that Frimpong had misled him earlier in the evening, securing permission for burial by falsely declaring the child dead.
The infant was rushed to the Abofrem Clinic, where she is now responding well to treatment. Police described her as “very beautiful.”
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Evelyn Yitamkey, Commander of DOVVSU in Bibiani, confirmed that the suspects have been provisionally charged.
Frimpong faces attempted murder and conspiracy charges, while Agyapomaa and Appiah are charged with conspiracy and abetment.
They were remanded by the Bibiani Circuit Court, presided over by Judge Frank Asiedu Nimako, to assist investigations.
The docket has been forwarded to the Attorney General’s Department for advice, ASP Yitamkey indicated.
The attempted crime has provoked fury among residents, many suspecting ritual motives aimed at bolstering the pastor’s influence.
Crowds attempted to attack the suspects outside court, but police intervention prevented mob justice.
The Assembly Member for Ahyiresu, Yusuf Suleiman, has assured residents that justice will be pursued swiftly.

The forecourt of the African University of Communications and Business (AUCB) in Accra came alive on Friday with colour, creativity and innovation, as Level 300 students transformed the space into a lively exhibition of ideas.
Under the theme “Building meaningful brands beyond the logo,” the students invited patrons into a world where ordinary products were reimagined through storytelling, design and purpose.
From scented candles to innovative food concepts, each stand told a unique story, one that went beyond aesthetics to capture identity, value and human connection.
For many of the students, the event was more than just an academic exercise; it was a moment to dream out loud.
Guided by their lecturer, Peter Wonders, they explored what it truly means to build a brand in today’s competitive world where trust, consistency and experience matter just as much as logos and slogans.
Chairman of the occasion, Nana Kum Gyata VI, in his remarks said a brand is what people say about you when you are not present.
At the end of the presentations, awards were presented to deserving groups with Vida Nyaneba emerging as the overall best branding student.
