Care Connect Global LBG, a Ghanaian non-governmental organization (NGO), has extended its philanthropic efforts to support prisoners, widows, and the homeless in Kumasi.
The organization visited the Manhyia Local Prisons, yesterday, 22nd February 2025 where it provided meals for over 250 inmates, reinforcing its commitment to uplifting the underprivileged.
During the visit, each inmate received a package consisting of jollof rice, bottled water, and a drink. In addition, the NGO reached out to widows and widowers at the Kumasi Business Centre, donating bags of rice to ease their burden. Street beggars and the homeless were also beneficiaries, receiving food packages that included jollof rice and drinks.
Speaking to Oyerepa News, Madam Beatrice Boahemaa, President of Care Connect Global LBG, emphasized the organization’s dedication to supporting vulnerable groups in society.
She highlighted that some individuals find themselves in prison through no fault of their own, and it was important to remind them that imprisonment is not the end of their journey.
“There are a lot of people in here who were jailed not because of their faults. As an NGO, we saw it necessary to dine with them so they also feel that they are part of us. Our main aim is to motivate them and let them know that prison isn’t their end; they can still have a bright future,” she stated.
Madam Boahemaa further explained the broader vision of Care Connect Global LBG, noting that the organization seeks to alleviate hardship across Africa by extending a helping hand to the less privileged.
She assured that the NGO will remain steadfast in its mission to support the needy in Ghana and beyond.
ASP Oppong Clifford Amoako, the Second-in-Command (2iC) in Charge of Education at Manhyia Local Prisons, expressed profound gratitude for the initiative, stating that such gestures bring joy to the inmates and inspire hope.
“We’re highly excited about this kind gesture by the NGO. Any time the inmates see this, they feel excited. The inmates here need a lot of assistance from the public, and the Manhyia Local Prisons also needs help from all stakeholders,” he said.
