The Management of International Youth Fellowship (IYF) in Collaboration with COCONUT-South Korea have embarked on a series of donations to help the vulnerable who have adversely been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

In connection with this effort and as part of their contributions towards supporting the Covid-19 relief efforts in Ghana, they donated Personal Protective Equipment and some food items to the needy and the vulnerable through the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection.

Hon. Cynthia Mamley Morrison received the items on behalf of the Ministry.

The donated items included 1,200 disposable facemasks, hand sanitizers and cartons of soya milk.

Those present for the donation exercise were Rev. Young Jun Moon; Country Director IYF Ghana, Rev. Kim Sungjae Deputy Director, IYF and COCONUT- South Korea among students volunteers.

Shortly after the donation at the Ministry, the team visited some towns and communities to donate more facemasks and cartons of soya milk.

These communities are Nyakrom, Liberia Camp, Dodowa, Winneba, Koforidua,  Swedru, Agona Nsaba, Camp Village, Nsawam and Sowutuom.

The Country Director of IYF recognized the Ministry’s efforts and indicated that the organization desire to be an effective partner in this fight to protect the citizens of Ghana.

IYF recently organized a youth event online which played host to over 30,000 young people across the globe with the aim of bringing comfort to troubled minds and hearts during these difficult times.

IYF strives to guide young people to break free from fear, hopelessness and lead them to live a happy and bright life with the “Mindset Education Concept”. 

The Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection; Cynthia Mamle Morrison, expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the two organisations and added that the donations will go a long way to support their plans of giving a helping hand to the needy and the vulnerable, especially during these difficult times.
