Needy of Hope West Africa Ghana

This project is about helping the orphanage Needy of Hope, and our association We Care About African Football will do everything we can to support the dear children at Needy of Hope.

Our upcoming initiative aims to support Needy of Hope, an orphanage in Ghana founded in 2005 by Miriam Orphanage. The orphanage houses 58 children aged 2-16 years. The reason our association has chosen to get involved in helping these children at Needy of Hope stems from a personal experience. After my recent trip to Ghana, where I delivered a 40-foot container filled with used football, school, and swimming equipment to our partners there, I came across Miriam Orphanage. Miriam worked as a cleaning assistant at the place where I stayed during my visit. We began a conversation about our activities in Ghana, and she spoke about the orphanage she runs daily alongside her work as a cleaning assistant. We held a meeting where we brainstormed and identified several ways we could support the orphanage

We agreed to start a fundraiser with the goal of raising funds to cover three months' worth of expenses at the orphanage. This would cover everything from food to kitchen utensils, plates, cutlery, and glasses, as well as enable a single outing for the children to a museum.

Additionally, the funds will contribute to basic needs such as rice, cooking oil, electricity, sugar, and more. Our goal is to make a lasting and meaningful impact on the children's lives and support the orphanage's operations in a way that promotes their well-being and development. We are working closely with Miriam to ensure that our efforts address the most pressing needs and create a positive difference in the children's daily lives at Needy of Hope. Our aim is to make a lasting and meaningful impact on the children's lives and support the orphanage's operations in a way that promotes their well-being and development.

After visiting the orphanage and experiencing it up close, I was deeply moved. The emotional impact of the visit was so strong that my association and I felt we had to step in to help these children. After a discussion with Miriam about how we could best make a positive difference for both the children and the orphanage, we decided to take concrete steps
