CHRISTIAN NURTURE

HOCAP supported a program that fed the homeless and street children within Tema. HOCAP also supported the Remar orphanage with a total of 30 people with finance to pay their electrical bills for all the months under review and also gave some of the harvested maize from the HOCAP demonstration farm to the orphanage after harvesting.

The Nyitawuta community also received donation of clothing and furniture.

 EDUCATION

HOCAP donated three more laptops to the Nyitawuta community school teachers to help with teaching and learning within the community. The district officer who was present was very appreciative of this kind of donation. This donation also served as incentive for teachers working in the very remote community like Nyitawuta.

HOCAP sponsored Belinda from Nyitawuta who gained admission to the University of Ghana and her mother could not afford to pay her fees fully.  This brings to two (2) the number of girls who have been sponsored from the community to undertake higher education. HOCAP continues to support Ernestina in her vocational training. Whilst she was on vacation, HOCAP gave her some capital to bake bread and sell in the communities. This will help her, so she can put into practice what she learnt in school. It will also keep her busy so that she will not be idle during the vacation.

INCOME GENERATING ACTIVITY

HOCAP is gradually focusing the Nyitawuta community into becoming a self-sustaining community. HOCAP equipped the women group who had already been given the gari processing machine and grater. A new shed has been constructed for the women and also a new brick smokeless oven. Other items that the women need to start operating the gari processing (corn flakes) have all been provided. The women are now set to start working to add value to their product which will generate more income for them and the community at large. Gari processing has began and we look forward to a continuous production.

 AGRICULTURE

 In collaboration with the Agricultural office in the district, the community received a lot of cassava sticks for planting. This is to augment the efforts of HOCAP to make sure the entire community plants cassava which will serve as the raw material for the gari processing (corn flakes).

TREE PLANTING

In the month of June HOCAP sent 300 tree seedlings to the community, all school going children, teachers and parents available received various plants and these were planted on the 1st of June 2022. The children were also educated on the importance of planting trees and the need to take care of our environment.

HEALTH

MEDICAL OURTRECH: HOCAP engaged the services of a medical team who took the Nyitawuta community school children through a medical talk and physical examination.

  1. There was a talk on personal hygiene which included nail cutting, hand washing, care for the entire body with emphasis on dental care
  2. There were teaching aids to demonstrate to children how to take care of their teeth and the effects of not taking care of one’s teeth.
  3. There was physical examination of almost 150 children from lower primary to junior high.
  4. All children received a tooth brush and a tooth paste for dental hygiene

Observation from medical outreach: from the examination, most children had ear infection, ear wax, anemia, spiking temperature. Most children had tooth decay and patches on their skin. Some had itching skin and there were still issues on what they use during menstruation. The major challenge identified was malnourishment.

Recommendation: the medical team recommended that HOCAP does a regular follow up to treat ill health among these children who suffer because there is no medical facility in the community. They also recommended that the school be provided with a first aid box.

CLINIC CONSTRUCTION

HOCAP is happy to announce that the clinic is in its final stage now. The phase 4 is completed, doors, windows, plastering, tiles, fixing of electrical fixtures like fans have all been completed. What is currently left is bathroom fittings, bio digester for the wash rooms and finally, painting.

CONCLUSION

We are grateful to God, to GlobalGiving and to all our donors across the world who gave in different ways to make this possible. May God bless you all
