Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, former Vice Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party and former Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, has once again demonstrated his commitment to supporting the vulnerable in society through a series of donations to orphanages and rehabilitation centres in Kumasi.
The initiative, which forms part of his annual Easter outreach, is aimed at bringing relief, hope, and joy to individuals who are often overlooked, particularly children and persons living with disabilities.
Dr. Opoku Prempeh began his outreach at the Edwenase Rehabilitation Centre, where he donated assorted food items and other essential supplies to support the daily needs of residents. Interacting warmly with them, he encouraged the residents to remain hopeful and steadfast in faith, assuring them that they are not forgotten. He reaffirmed his personal commitment to consistently support the centre and do his best to provide them with what they deserve.
Continuing his outreach, he paid a visit to the Kumasi Cheshire Home, where he made a similar donation. There, he extended words of encouragement and assured management and residents of his continued dedication to their wellbeing. His visit brought smiles and a renewed sense of hope to many, as he emphasized the importance of showing love and care to all, regardless of their circumstances.
The final stop of the outreach was the Kumasi Orphanage Home, where the atmosphere was filled with joy as he presented food items and spent quality time interacting with the children. The visit created memorable moments, as laughter and excitement filled the air, reflecting the impact of such gestures on young lives.
Speaking to the media after the exercise, Dr. Opoku Prempeh reiterated that the initiative is not just about donations, but about making a meaningful difference in the lives of the less privileged. He stressed that as a society, there is a shared responsibility to care for the vulnerable and ensure that no one is left behind.
Quoting scripture, he highlighted that true religion is reflected in caring for those in need, particularly orphans and the disadvantaged. According to him, faith must go beyond words and be demonstrated through acts of kindness, compassion, and responsibility.
“Our faith as believers is not only something we profess, but something we must live out through service to others,” he noted. “In caring for the vulnerable, we express the true essence of our values and humanity.”
He further pledged his unwavering support to these institutions, assuring them of his continued commitment to contributing to their welfare and helping to put smiles on the faces of residents.
His gesture serves as a reminder of the importance of compassion, unity, and collective responsibility in building a society where everyone feels valued, supported, and cared for.
