The Kantamanto United Association, a group of used clothes traders who deal mainly in suits at the Kantamanto Market in Accra, said
Their donation was to complement the effort of the management of the orphanage in taking care of the children.
Items presented included bags of rice, maize, packs of noodles, biscuits and assorted soft drinks. Others were diapers, toiletries, bars of soap and detergents.
Support laudable
Presenting the items, the Chairman of the Association, who doubles as the Aduanahene of Agogo, Ashanti Akyem, Nana Agyeman Opambour, said the association, since its inception two years ago, had also made donations to the Princess Marie Louise Hospital (Children’s Hospital) in Accra and some needy individuals.
He said the association saw the need to give back to society from the savings it had made, even though it was not much and expressed the hope that the items would help to support the daily care of the children.
Nana Opambour impressed on other groups, individuals and corporate entities to go to the aid of orphanages to help nurture the children as they represented the future of the country.
Receiving the items, the Caretaker of the Orphanage, Madam Hannah Krampah, thanked the association for its support and reiterated the appeal to other organisations and philanthropists to also come to its aid.
Orphanage
The Royal Seed Home, established in January 2002, is a shelter that provides temporary housing, early childhood education and health services to about 100 orphaned children, made up of infants and teenagers.
The shelter comprises a few dilapidated school buildings and a small housing facility for all the children and it depends almost entirely on donations to pay the teachers and provide health services to the children, many of whom are malnourished
