Holiday Feeding Program for Ghana (CLOSED)
Donation protected
In the spirit of giving this holiday season and in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, we're raising funds to support our sisters in Ghana with meal kits.
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.
In April and May, we collectively distributed 900 meals to single parents, breastfeeding mothers, widowed women, and those with disabilities who faced acute food insecurity. Today, as these individuals continue to feel the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic through unemployment and rising costs of living, we ask again for your support.
How you can help
Yayra-Si Youth Foundation is hoping to provide food hampers for members of the Doryumu community at $25 for a family of 10 people. We are setting our fundraising goal at $1,000 for this month, which will allow us to serve 400 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.
100% of proceeds will go directly to food, labour and distribution costs to feed as many families as possible (after GoFundMe's fees). In order to distribute on time, we are collecting all funds by December 16, 2020.
Who your donation impacts
Many women in Shai-Osudoku (rural Ghana) 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 has made 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.
Who we are
Our non-profit, Yayra-Si Youth Foundation, is a youth-led organization dedicated to empowering women and youth in Ghana, particularly those without equitable access to resources. More information about our work is available on our website at https://ysyf.org.
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.
