The Alagumgube Association, led by Prof. Martin Abiriya, has made a generous donation to Mama Lardy’s Orphanage, providing 15 bags of locally polished rice, 2 large gallons of oil, 2 boxes of large tin tomatoes, and a 55-inch smart TV loaded with educational videos on pen drives to enhance the children’s learning.
Speaking exclusively to the media after the successful handover of the donated items, Prof. Abiriya stated that while the association initially planned to drill a borehole for the orphanage, they realized that food supplies were the most pressing need at this time. He emphasized the importance of supporting the less privileged, especially orphans, and called on other well-meaning individuals to emulate the association’s generosity.
After consulting with a geologist, the association confirmed that drilling a borehole would not meet the orphanage’s water needs. Interviews with the orphans revealed that their most urgent requirement was food supplies. Consequently, the association redirected its efforts toward providing essential provisions.
Mr. Gabriel Agambila, the founder of the Alagumgube Association, expressed the group’s commitment to education, which prompted the decision to supply the smart TV loaded with learning materials.
Madam Vera Ayine, who received the donation, was overwhelmed with gratitude. “Today is so exciting! We cannot thank you enough. When we heard you might drill a borehole for us, we were thrilled—especially since we often struggle to pay our water bills. Your donation of food and oil has come at a crucial time, as our rice supply was nearly gone. This support will help us immensely. As a senior high school student, I worry about how to soak my gari for school, but now I have the oil I need,” she said, expressing her relief and gratitude. Vera concluded, “May the Lord bless you for this generous act!”
Mr. Agambila was visibly moved by Vera’s story, especially as she recounted an experience when the orphanage’s electricity was cut off. Her words highlighted the significance of the items donated, not only for her benefit but for her siblings as well.
The Alagumgube Association is recognized as one of the fastest-growing, development-oriented groups in the Upper East Region of Ghana. Additionally, the Clothilda Awae Foundation contributed 40 smock school bags to complement the donations, aiming to bring smiles to the orphans and promote locally made smocks.
