Rev. Samuel Asiedu Bonsu, the Country Director of Bethany Healthcare Foundation, said the foundation was committed to fairness in all its operations.
“It will not be discriminatory in selecting widows and orphans from specific groups or orphanage homes, the foundation has come to stay for the vulnerable,” he noted.
He emphasised the provision of health care services to promote healthy living conditions.
During the event, orphans received stationery items like books, pencils, and crayons, followed by a meal shared with the widows.
Mr Edward Honest Polley, Administrator of Saviour Children’s Foundation Home in Kasoa-Amanfrom, expressed gratitude to Mrs Boateng for her generous contribution to widows and orphans.
