The initiative, according to the Foundation, was in response to the hardships some of the aged experienced due to neglect and despise by society which led most of them to their early grave. The beneficiaries received pieces of cloth, some food items and toiletries. It was made possible through contributions from members of the Foundation and other benevolent individuals including; Mr Ignatius Asaah Mensah, the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Mpohor. Speaking at a short ceremony to hand over the items to the beneficiaries, Nana Afia Asantewaa, President of the Foundation, prayed for God’s protection and long life for the aged.
She said the Foundation existed to help the aged and the less privileged and underscored the importance of service to mankind. She emphasized the need for the privileged to reach out to the poor and needy in the society, stressing that God help people through others.
The DCE expressed gratitude to the members of the Foundation and called for support for them to be able to, as often as possible, reach out to the poor
