The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has handed over a newly renovated and equipped boys’ dormitory and kitchen to the Tamale Nyohini Children’s Home.
This gesture, part of the Church’s annual Light The World campaign, aims to improve the living conditions and facilities for children residing in the Home.
A statement issued in Accra by the Church said the initiative underscored the Church’s unwavering commitment to community service and its efforts to spread love, hope, and joy through practical acts of kindness during the Christmas season.
The Tamale Nyohini Children’s Home, a sanctuary for children without biological parents, has faced challenges in meeting the needs of its growing population due to inadequate facilities.
In response to calls for support from the government and stakeholders, the Church acted last year by organizing a sod-cutting ceremony as part of the 2023 the campaign to initiate the renovation project.
It said in addition to the dormitory and kitchen upgrade, the Church donated essential supplies, including toiletries and food items, to further enhance the children’s well-being.
Elder Isaac K Morrison, Second Counsellor for Africa West Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints expressed his joy at witnessing the project’s completion.
He reinforced the Church’s mission of promoting goodness and uplifting the social, economic, and spiritual well-being of all God’s children.
“As followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, it is our mission to promote goodness and support social, economic and spiritual well-being of all God’s children,” he said.
He urged the Home’s management to maintain the renovated facilities for the benefit of future generations while fostering peace and love during the festive and election seasons.
Madam Annunciata M.Z. Anglaaere, Acting Regional Director of the Department of Social Welfare expressed gratitude for the Church’s intervention.
“The renovated dormitory and kitchen will greatly improve the children’s daily lives, providing them with a sense of dignity and hope for a brighter future,” she said.
She acknowledged the Church’s selfless service as a testament to faith and compassion, stating that their actions exemplify Christ’s teachings to care for the least among us.
