Two prisons and one orphanage will today benefit from Citi FM’s annual Easter Orphan Project.
[contextly_sidebar id=”kYEuz9pKy1s6XQ6C1NXo7SMTvK4pS8Ki”]The beneficiaries of this year’s project are the Kumasi Central Prison in the Ashanti Region, the Akuse Prison and the Baptist School Complex & Orphanage, both in the Eastern Region.
Listeners of the station and corporate organisations have donated monies and various types of food items to support the initiative to make them feel loved and more comfortable.
The Easter Orphan Project is an annual Citi FM Corporate Social Responsibility project under the Citi FM Foundation which raises funds and donations to support some registered orphanages in the country.
Citi FM has so far supported the Baptist School Complex and Orphanage in Trotor (a hamlet near Suhum), the Jehovah Rapha Orphanage in Suhum, Handivangelism at Haatso and Mama Ladi Orphanage in Bolgatanga.
In 2013, the station and its donors commenced work on a skills and vocational training center at the Suhum Baptist School Complex and orphanage.
The training centre has been completed and currently in use.
The centre will train orphans in the fields of carpentry, plumbing, electricals and hairdressing among others.
The 2015 edition of the Easter Orphan Project will see the extension of love and care to the inmates at the Kumasi and Akuse Prisons.
Staff of Citi FM and some volunteers will spend some time with the officers and inmates in the prisons.
