Barring any hitches, the team working on the Apeadem CHPS compound and the Rural Women and Children Resource Center in the farming community of Akroso in the Asene Manso Akroso District of the Eastern Region will soon handover the facility to the community.
The facility will serve the community’s population of about 500 people as well as 11 surrounding villages.
The project, which is fully funded by the Childlift Aid Foundation (CAF), a Christian child development non-profit organisation, is expected to bring quality healthcare closer to the people of Apeadem and surrounding communities who have to travel long distances to access health services.
Speaking to Adom news, the founder and senior operations officer at Childlift Aid Foundation, Osei Bawuah, said they started the project because they wanted to reduce the plight of residents in accessing healthcare services.
“We delved into this area of project because of the inconveniences most of the dwellers in our operational area face in their quest to access health care. Pregnant women and children walk miles [to health centres],” he said
He further touched on how the foundation mobilised funds for their projects, calling on well-meaning Ghanaians to support them in their humanitarian venture.
“Childlift Aid Foundation is supported by individuals, every month we donate tokens which we pull together for our projects, our doors are open for more support in order to cover more villages,” he stated.
2023 marks 10 years of CAF’s existence with significant milestones chalked across demanding sectors (education, health, social and economic) in rural communities.
In these years, they have been able to reach children with quality education, the marginalized (aged, widows, economically displaced women) with sustainable support and quality health services.
