Mama Lardi’s Children’s Home in the Bolgatanga Municipality of the Upper East Region has become the latest to receive support from Alagumgube, a development group with global roots.
Alagumgube had earlier donated to the Upper East Regional Hospital and the Anafobisi Primary A School in Bongo, which was hit by a windstorm. The latest was the Mama Lardi’s Children’s Home.
The items presented to the home on Monday, March 31, 2025, included 15 bags of rice, 2 large gallons of oil, 2 boxes of tinned tomatoes, a 55-inch Smart TV, and loaded with educational material on a pen drive to support the children’s learning and development.
In addition to these, the Clothilda Awae Foundation added 40 smock bags to the items presented, a move set to promote the local fabric of the region.
The group believes the donation will go a long way to support the efforts of Mama Lardi adding, that every child deserves nourishment, education, and opportunities for a brighter future.
Martin Abiriya, Alagumgube Africa Member, explained that the presentation is in recognition of the fact that vulnerable children require the support of various groups and individuals. He said one of the pressing needs the children mentioned had to do with food thus, the presentation of the food items and others.
Mr. Abiriya urged members of society to come to the aid of vulnerable people especially, children to help them have a brighter future.
“These contributions, though small, are to support the incredible work Mama Laady is doing. We believe that every child deserves nourishment, education, and opportunities for a brighter future. We are grateful for the tireless efforts of Mama Laady and the entire staff who care for these children with love and dedication. We hope that these items help lighten the load and contribute to a better life for the children here.”
“Thank you for allowing us to be a part of this beautiful mission. Together, we can continue to support, uplift, and inspire these children as they grow into the leaders of tomorrow,” he said.
While expressing gratitude to Alagumgube for the gesture, Vera Ayine, who spoke on behalf of the children, said the donation comes as a huge relief to them.
Vera, a Senior High School student said she would will be able to get oil to return to school.
“Bringing this to us today is so exciting. Just today, when we entered our store room, it was left with a gallon of oil. I am in senior high school and was thinking where I would get oil to send to school and soak my gari but now I know I will get oil. So, from far and near, I pray that God will bless all those who made this possible,” she prayed while in tears over the gesture.
