Coordinator of the Fund and Senior Presidential Advisor on Governmental Affairs, Dr Valerie Sawyerr, expressed gratitude to all who have responded to the call.
“This show of solidarity demonstrates that Ghanaians and institutions alike are committed to securing a future for the children left behind by this tragedy,” she said.
Dr Sawyerr encouraged further donations, noting that contributions can be made through Stanbic Bank Ghana Limited accounts at Stanbic Heights Branch in Accra, or via mobile money platforms.
“Every cedi and dollar counts towards ensuring that these children do not only survive but thrive,” she emphasised.
