SAVE A LIFE
ORPHANAGE INTERNATIONAL
GHANA
GHANA
G'day guys,
I am always happy to provide some space for those helping kids around the world. Today, I introduce Save A Life Orphanage International in Ghana. Here is a letter from the director, Jack Darko.
"Hello !
I am Jack Darko, the Director of
SAVE A LIFE ORPHANAGE INTERNATIONAL, am writing to you on behalf of the
organization, a non- profit organization that is working for the less privileged
and destitute in the community which the organization is committed to help the
less privileged in the community to eradicate poverty, child labor, social
vices and to promote individual and societal change. It is estimated that today
there are over 400 kids here in Kasoa, Central Region of Ghana who are under
privileged, either homeless or exposed to child labour. But currently SAVE A
LIFE ORPHANAGE organization is able to cater for 140 kids ranging between 3-15yrs
who are passionate about been educated and also having a 3 square balanced meals.
It is of these reasons that SAVE
A LIFE ORPHANAGE INTERNATIONAL was established in order to support and assist
these young and vulnerable kids but due to their numbers we are unable to meet
everyone and this has been a serious challenge for the organization i.e.
inadequate volunteers, Educational stationeries, feeding, Funds and clothes for
the kids. Our organization has also secured some acres of land which will be
used in constructing a 12 unit classroom block as a school and everyone is
excited and eager to see this project succeeding.
It is for these reasons we are
calling for any person who is touched to help. Any gesture will be happily
accepted, either in the form of volunteering, stationeries, funding, clothes or
connecting our organization to other organizations for their support, We will
be happy to acknowledge your donation at our numerous events, (unless you
prefer otherwise). Under the volunteering mission, our organization has solely
made the availability for accommodation where volunteers do not pay any fee,
when it comes to feeding our volunteers are made to pay a daily fee of 30$
which takes care of their food, cleaning and washing of their clothes etc.We
further use the time of their visit on touring the country’s most beautiful
sites such as the Castle, fort, beaches and animal park - just to mention a
few. Currently we are focused on the field of education and health by
Volunteers where they can participate and are not restricted if they have any
further assistance to the organisation. Donations and counseling is also
welcomed.
I would like to thank you for
considering this opportunity to partner with our organization. If you have any
queries regarding our organization, our management policy, or the projects,
please feel free to contact us at the address given above or at our email:

Thank you,
Jack Darko
Director

NB: Our organization is an NGO not owned by a church

“I hail from Germany, and
met Jack through a referral from Suzzy who works with UNICEF and upon
discussion and hearing the plight of children through the discussion I decided
to visit them in Ghana.I will say I did not believe my eyes seeing their
situation though after my return back I am getting in touch to some people to
help but are not yet certain. Jack I will say is doing his best but his
resources are limited and this is what I saw on my visit. The children are divided
into two. There are those from 0-9yrs and 10-15yrs, and the reason was that
they had limited classrooms so there was some kind of shifting lectures on
different hours.
From the interview, I
gathered that most of the parents of the kids were dead and their family
relatives were equally not ready to cater for them due to their own basic
challenges, so these kids found their homes on the street of Kasoa, mostly
begging and the other group are also those whose parents are suffering from
health challenges and financial difficulties which is making them unable to
cater for them and these kids in return found their way on the street as well. Now
on my visit I was tasked to teach these kids English and mathematics which I
saw that most of them were good and with a little push will shine. I also saw
that the kids really yearn for adequate class rooms because 5 of them pleaded
for it on behalf of the organisation. Jack even took me to a land site which
the orphanage have secured for their project.”

Clancy's comment: What gorgeous kids, eh? Always happy to help any kids who are struggling ... anywhere in the world. By the way, this organisation is seeking a patron. If you have the time, passion, empathy and compassion, contact Jack. The kids deserve your interest. Thank you, Jack, and thank you, Luci.
An email of support would be most appreciated. Or, maybe you can re-post this on your own blogs and websites.
