A group of Commonwealth Hall old students from the University of Ghana has presented items and cash totaling 20,000 Ghana cedis to an orphanage in the Greater Accra region.
The Oval 2006 Group made the presentation to Kressner Handmaids Children’s Home and Divine Providence School during their annual charity initiative.
The package consisted of food items valued at 15,000 cedis and a cash donation of 5,000 cedis. Essential supplies included rice, sugar, gari, spaghetti, sardines, tomato paste, cooking oil, soap, washing powder, Indomie noodles and sachet water to support the facility’s operational needs.
Beyond the material support, the alumni spent considerable time engaging with the children, sharing professional experiences and discussing life skills. The interactive session allowed children to express their career dreams and future goals while learning from the visitors’ diverse professional backgrounds.
The children’s home is operated by the Handmaids of the Divine Redeemer Sisters of Accra under the leadership of Sr. Kizita Otoo. The facility serves abandoned children and those without family support, continuing work the religious order began in the 1960s through family placement programs.
Construction of the current building was funded entirely by Germany’s Rotary Club, with the project completed in March 2015. Additional local supporters have since joined efforts to sustain the facility’s operations and expansion plans.
Sr. Kizita highlighted the institution’s dual approach to sustainability, combining charitable donations with income-generating activities. The sisters operate a poultry farm alongside their childcare services to reduce dependence on external funding while maintaining educational programs.
“We depend mostly on charity, but we also run a poultry farm to help sustain the home,” she explained. Sr. Kizita also outlined infrastructure priorities, including completion of an unfinished water project and establishment of a medical facility for the children.
Eugene Osei-Wireko, speaking for the alumni group, emphasized their commitment to sustainable partnership rather than isolated charitable gestures. The association has maintained close friendships since their university days and now channels that solidarity into community service projects.
Member Kofi Amoa-Abban described the engagement as establishing lasting bonds between the alumni network and the children. He promised continued visits and support as the partnership develops beyond the initial donation phase.
The facility currently houses multiple children while providing educational services through its attached school. Officials from both the alumni group and the children’s home expressed confidence that ongoing collaboration will strengthen the institution’s capacity to serve vulnerable children in the region.
