Philanthropist Donates Cash to Widows at Amanase

A philanthropist who wishes to remain anonymous has made a cash donation of GHC 3,200.00 (three thousand two hundred cedis) to Peraz Charity Foundation – a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO).

The cash which was presented to 20 widows at a brief ceremony at Kokooso – a small farming community near Amanase in the Suhum-Kraboa-Coaltar District of the Eastern region is to help alleviate the sufferings of these unfortunate women who have become single mothers taking on the burden of raising their children alone following the demise of their husbands.

Presenting the cash on behalf of the donor, Prosper Azameti, who is the Founder and Executive Director of Peraz Charity Foundation, said he was touched by the plight of the widows after paying a working visit to the area where his organization and partners currently run a small ophanage and school for children and decided to launch a fund raising initiative which touched the donor to give her “widows might” to support the widows.

A teacher at the orphanage/school, Benjamin Lartey and Thomas Tekper an opinion leader in the community who both spoke on behalf of the widows thanked the donor and Peraz Charity Foundation for the gesture and prayed for God’s guidance and blessings upon their lives. They called on other well-meaning individuals and NGO’S alike to emulate Peraz Charity Foundation by coming to the aid of the less fortunate in society.

One of the widows, Madam Nakuor Odonkor, who was particularly presented with an amount of GHC 400.00 out of the cash as she had no living relatives nor children to take care of her showed her gratitude to the benefactors and promised on behalf of all the windows to make judicious use of the money.
