The Myhelp-Yourhelp Foundation, in partnership with PayAngel, has donated items and cash worth about GH?60,000 to the Weija Leprosarium in Accra during an outreach exercise held over the Easter weekend.

The donation, made on Easter Saturday, April 19, included food items, clothing, medicines, books to stock the library, stationery, and a cash contribution of GH?10,000. It was carried out under the theme “Easter Compassion: From Isolation to Inclusion.”

Rev. Father Andrew Nii Lante Campbell, who received the items on behalf of the Leprosarium, described the gesture as timely. He commended the Foundation for not only providing material support but also spending time with the residents.

He said such interaction helped restore a sense of connection and dignity among the cured lepers.

Mr. Nicholas Cofie, President of the Myhelp-Yourhelp Foundation, encouraged individuals, businesses, and philanthropic groups to support the work of the Foundation. He said it had a track record of delivering impactful social projects and had built public trust over the years through transparency and responsible stewardship of donations.

Mr. Delali Kotoka, Manager of PayAngel, added that supporting the Foundation was a way for organisations to extend help to people living in deprived conditions.

He said such partnerships could make a real difference in the lives of many.

Children living at the Leprosarium, including those rescued from nearby underserved communities, also participated in the Easter celebration. Activities such as Bible quizzes, musical chairs, and dance competitions were held to mark the occasion.

One of the residents, speaking during the programme, appealed for continued visits. “Let this not be a one-time visit. Come again. You have made us feel seen,” the resident said.

The Myhelp-Yourhelp Foundation was founded in 2018 by a group of professionals, including doctors, nurses, engineers, lecturers, lawyers, bankers, and entrepreneurs. Since then, it has undertaken 23 outreach projects to support poor and marginalised communities across the country.
