Feeding & Iftaar Program for Doryumu, Ghana
Donation protected
2020 has been a rollercoaster year for humanity
The onset of COVID-19, has left many of the world’s population with great feelings of devastation, unrest, and fear concerning the state of the world. Amidst this great turmoil, there has been movements of hope and kindness towards one another as we band together to create a community of care for those in need. The effects of coronavirus extends beyond being infected and hospitalized. The pandemic has led to many individuals, including those in Ghana to lose their jobs and source of livelihood.
Who we are
Our Non-profit, Yayra-Si Youth Foundation, is dedicated to empowering women, and youth in Ghana, particularly those without equitable access to resources.
What we have done so far
On Sunday, April 26, 2020 Yayra-Si Youth Foundation distributed 400 meals to 40 households in Shai-Osudoku facing food insecurity due to COVID-19. Among our beneficiaries were widows, breast-feeding mothers, and young women. Some did not have anything to eat that day, and quickly began preparing the items we distributed.
Who your donation impacts
Many women in Doryumu lack financial independence and rely on the support of male heads of households for income. This leaves them vulnerable to exploitation and domestic abuse.
Additionally, lack of access to nutritional foods places acute threat on the health of mothers and newborns.Widows often live alone and lack access to independent sources of income, which has also increased their vulnerability during the pandemic.
COVID-19 makes it even more important to provide immediate financial assistance to these households. Everything from basics, like food to financial assistance to pay for things like rent and healthcare needs is urgently needed as people experience lost wages and hunger.
How you can help
Yayra-Si Youth Foundation is hoping to provide food hampers for members of the Doryumu community, especially for this season of Ramadan. Our aim is to provide a day’s meal or iftaar at $20 for a family of 10 people, and we are setting our fundraising goal at $1,000 for this month, which will allow us to serve 500 individuals facing food insecurity.
If you are reading this, there is something you can do to spread a little kindness in the world. You can donate towards this cause for as little as $5, and share this campaign to your family and friends.
We are very grateful for your contribution towards this feeding program. The funds from this donation will ensure that families are able to access nutritious food. Your contribution helps us get one step closer to our goal.
