Impact Wave Initiative announces “Feed The Children” campaign
As we experience different cultures and lifestyles, we can understand how fortunate we may be to have the simple basics in life that we often take for granted.
Around us, right in our communities, many people struggle to live, from feeding, clothing to shelter and sometimes more.
Impact Wave Initiative (IWI), a women community driven non-profit organisation, believes everyone needs a helping hand from time to time.
For that purpose, the organisation has this week announced its initiative to give back to society in the month of July 2023.
The initiative is dubbed “Feed The Children,” and will see members of IWI visiting selected areas in the Greater Accra region, including La, Osu, JamesTown and Chorkor, on Saturday 15th July 2023.
They will be sharing food and drinks to deprived children and street children in these communities.
The President and Founder of IWI, Ms. Eunice Golloh, indicated that the Bible in Proverbs encourages us to be generous towards one another and take interest in caring for the poor and needy in our families and communities.
“A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed. The reward of helping people in need can be one of the most enriching feelings in life, which is worth much more than money. Giving back to society is at the core of our operations and in line with our mission to ensure people are elevated in various ways. Over the years, we have assisted underprivileged people in Nigeria, South Africa, and Malawi”, she emphasised.
Ms. Golloh added that the “Feed The Children” is heavily driven by the mentees which is part of their mentorship program with a key focus on embracing an attitude of gratitude in addition to creating the awareness of giving among young people.
It is to also highlight and teach them the essence of being grateful for where they find themselves in life currently.
Over five hundred (500) children are expected to benefit from the “Feed The Children” initiative on Saturday 15th July 2023 in the Greater Accra region, which will also be replicated by the IWI teams in Kenya and Liberia on the same day.
Ms. Eunice Golloh appealed to corporate institutions and other stakeholders to support the “Feed The Children” initiative and other programmes by IWI in various forms to enable them to touch more lives.

Health minister launches Ghana Medical Cares Trust Fund Taskforce
The Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has officially inaugurated the Ghana Medical Care Trust Fund (MahamaCares) Taskforce to oversee the successful implementation of the initiative.
MahamaCares, an initiative of His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama, aims to provide dedicated financial support to individuals suffering from chronic and debilitating illnesses.
The initiative is designed to ensure fairness in healthcare access, particularly for those facing financial barriers to treatment.
Addressing the gathering, Mr. Akandoh highlighted that while the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) has improved medical coverage, it does not completely ease the financial burden of treating chronic diseases.
He stated, “The Ghana Medical Trust Fund is a bold response to this challenge. It’s purpose is clear: no Ghanaian should choose between their health and financial ruin.”
He noted that the taskforce has been tasked with developing a strong policy and legal framework to establish MahamaCares as a statutory entity.
In addition, the team will be responsible for designing a sustainable funding model to ensure the long-term viability of the fund, setting clear eligibility and disbursement criteria to guarantee fairness, and evaluating Ghana’s healthcare infrastructure to recommend improvements for better accessibility.
Rev. Prof. Emeritus Seth Aryeetey, Chairman of the nine-member taskforce, expressed his immerse gratitude to the President and the Minister for the opportunity to serve.
He assured that the taskforce would work diligently to ensure the success of the MahamaCares initiative and deliver on its mandate effectively.
Other members of the taskforce include; Prof. Emeritus Binka – former Vice Chancellor of the University of Health and Allied Sciences, Prof. Margaret Kweku – Public Health Consultant, Dr Alfred Doku – Consultant Cardiologist, Dr. Radolph Nsor-Ambala – financial expert, Dr Anthony Gingong – representative of the National Health Insurance Trust Fund, Dr. Anthony Seddoh – Health Policy and financing expert, Anna Pearl Akiwumi Siriboe – lawyer and the Attorney General’s representative for the committee and Dr Belinda Afriyie – Public Health Consultant Secretary for the Taskforce.
