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.

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.
