The HHAF Humanitarian team just returned home from a fantastic follow up visit to Ghana. Our organization believes firmly in the powers of due diligence and as a supporter of HHAF, we hope you will enjoy reading about our progress.
We visited many of the areas we distribute food to, and were pleased to find the programs we implemented have exceeded our expectations.
FOCOS HOSPITAL – Children are sent to FOCOS to receive life-changing spinal surgeries. The MannaPack helps build up nutrition to prepare children for surgery, and is a means of recovery and weight gain post-surgery. The children were happy, grateful, and truly seemed to enjoy the food. We will be receiving documented results of weight gain in numbers and will be happy to share once we receive them.
RURAL GHANIAN VILLAGES – We visited many of the villages and schools, and spoke with community leaders who expressed sincere thanks for our provisions. In our program, food is primarily served during school to increase enrollment. We were pleased to hear repeatedly that attendance and performance has risen tremendously. Parents are eager to send children to school, knowing they will receive a meal.
HIV CLINICS – The premise of this program is to increase check-ups for HIV-Positive children. When a parent brings their child to the clinic, they receive two weeks supply of food. In order to continue to receive food, they must be seen by a health practitioner every two weeks.
The HHAF team will continue to be involved with these communities and we are now moving towards more sustainable initiatives. We hope to employ many exciting, new programs that will focus on skill training and enhance the education of villagers.
