In a touching demonstration of compassion and social commitment, the Kofi Job Foundation has extended significant support to vulnerable groups in the Atwima Takyiman/Denkyemuoso Electoral Area, bringing hope and relief to over 60 widows and orphans.
The donation, which formed part of a large-scale outreach program by the foundation, reached more than 1,000 needy individuals across the Ashanti Region in December 2024. In Atwima Takyiman/Denkyemuoso alone, over 30 widows and 30 orphans received food supplies and financial aid to help ease their daily burdens.
Hon. David Asare, the Assembly Member for the area, expressed profound gratitude to the Kofi Job Foundation for its thoughtful intervention. He revealed that the exercise was initiated after the foundation announced the donation campaign on OTEC 102.9 FM, which prompted many widows and orphans in his electoral area to quickly register at the station to benefit from the support.
The beneficiaries, after undergoing proper registration and identification, were issued ID numbers to facilitate a smooth and fair distribution process. Each recipient was provided with bags of rice, bottles of cooking oil, frozen chicken, and a cash package to help support their household needs.
“This support came at a time when many families were silently suffering,” Hon. Asare stated. “The foundation didn’t just donate food and money—they restored the dignity of widows and gave hope to orphans who often feel forgotten. It was a moment of true compassion.”
In addition to supporting individual households, the Chosen Generation of Jesus Christ Children’s Home—an orphanage located within the community—also received essential food items and supplies to care for more than 30 children.
According to Hon. Asare, the donation made a tremendous difference, especially for the children in the orphanage who rely solely on external support for their daily upkeep. “The joy and relief on their faces were priceless. This was more than a donation—it was an answer to prayer,” he noted.
He went on to commend the leadership of the Kofi Job Foundation for their ongoing commitment to supporting the underprivileged and reaching deep into communities where needs are often overlooked. He described the gesture as “a beacon of hope” and urged other charitable organizations and individuals to emulate their example.
“The foundation has demonstrated that true leadership is about lifting others up,” Hon. Asare added. “I am confident that their legacy will continue to inspire others to contribute to community development.”
The Kofi Job Foundation’s intervention has since been widely praised by residents and community leaders, many of whom say the gesture has brought not only food and comfort but also a sense of belonging and love.
For the widows and orphans of Atwima Takyiman/Denkyemuoso, this act of kindness has made a lasting impression—one that reminds them that they are not alone and that hope can indeed be restored.
