Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, former Energy Minister and 2024 New Patriotic Party Vice Presidential Candidate, has donated assorted food items to three care institutions in Kumasi to support their feeding and operational needs.
The beneficiary institutions were the Kumasi Children’s Home, Edwinase Rehabilitation Centre and the Kumasi Cheshire Home.
The items donated included bags of rice and sugar, cooking oil, tinned tomatoes, gari, soft drinks and other food supplies.
Dr Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as Napo, said the gesture was inspired by his conviction that vulnerable members of society deserved support and care.
He urged Ghanaians to cultivate the habit of giving, noting that one did not have to be wealthy before extending a helping hand to the needy.
“Giving brings a lot of blessings, and we must all cultivate the habit of giving,” he said, adding that his support was driven by his belief in the blessings associated with helping the vulnerable in society.
Dr Opoku Prempeh noted that even small contributions could significantly improve the lives of vulnerable people and help build a more caring and compassionate society.
He encouraged individuals, organisations and institutions to support care facilities to enhance the services they provide to vulnerable children, persons with disabilities and others requiring specialised care.
At the Edwinase Rehabilitation Centre, Madam Rita Adjei, Manageress of the facility, expressed appreciation to Dr Opoku Prempeh for his continued support and commitment to the welfare of the residents.
She said his regular visits and assistance served as a source of motivation to both staff and residents.
Madam Rose Achaab, House Mistress of the centre, also thanked the former Minister for the donation and assured him of the institution’s prayers and support.
At the Kumasi Cheshire Home, Father Obeng Manu, Board Secretary, expressed gratitude for the donation and assured Dr Opoku Prempeh that the items would be used judiciously to support the nutritional needs of the people.
