Dr. Mrs. Ellen Hagan organized a charity gala to raise funds in support of the Bible Society of Ghana and the L’AÎNÉ Foundation’s Nsoromma Programme.
The event also marked the successful completion of Dr. Hagan’s tenure as Vice President of the Bible Society of Ghana, celebrating her dedication to faith-based leadership, service and philanthropy.
Held under the chairmanship of Dr. James Orleans-Lindsay, Executive Chairman of JL Properties and Chancellor of Cape Coast Technical University, the gala brought together influential personalities from across the country to support initiatives aimed at expanding access to the Bible and empowering young women.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Hagan said the occasion was not a personal celebration but an opportunity to extend the impact of the two beneficiary organisations.
“This evening is not about celebrating one person’s journey. It is about multiplying impact. Every contribution made tonight helps place God’s Word into more hands and opens more doors for young women to become the leaders our continent needs,” she said.
Dr. James Orleans-Lindsay encouraged individuals and organisations to embrace generosity as an investment in Ghana’s future, noting that sustainable national development requires support for initiatives that nurture both spiritual growth and leadership development.
The evening featured worship sessions, musical performances and reflections on faith, service and generosity. Performances by Harmonious Chorale, Dr. Michelle McKinney Hammond, and Barry & Rabby, alongside a documentary presentation and charity appeal, highlighted the work of the Bible Society of Ghana and the L’AÎNÉ Foundation while encouraging guests to support their missions.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will support the Bible Society of Ghana’s efforts to translate, publish and distribute the Bible, as well as its literacy and Scripture engagement programmes. For nearly six decades, the Society has expanded access to the Bible through outreach initiatives in schools, prisons, hospitals and underserved communities nationwide.
The gala also raised funds for the Ellen Hagan Nsoromma Programme, an initiative of the L’AÎNÉ Foundation that equips young women with the skills, values and confidence to become effective leaders.
Built around three core pillars—faith, relationships and career development—the programme helps participants strengthen their leadership capacity, develop supportive networks and pursue excellence in their personal and professional lives. Since its launch two years ago, it has empowered young women to make meaningful contributions to their workplaces, churches and communities.
The event concluded with prayers of thanksgiving and a commissioning ceremony, as organisers and participants reaffirmed their commitment to advancing faith, leadership development and the empowerment of future generations.
