The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection has donated an undisclosed amount of money and presented assorted items to support an ongoing project at the Nsawam Prison.
The items include foodstuffs, bottled and sachet water, sanitary pads, soap, and soft drinks for the inmates.
During the presentation on Thursday, the Minister, Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, stated that the donation was an expression of love and solidarity with the inmates.
She also inspected the prison’s fish pond and poultry farm, commending the management and inmates for their hard work and innovation in developing sustainable livelihood ventures that provide food for the facility.
Dr Lartey urged them to continue these beneficial activities as part of their rehabilitation and reintegration process.
She reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to advancing women’s health, gender equality, and social protection, stressing the importance of investing in prevention rather than cure.
“Let us all become advocates in our homes, workplaces, and communities to spread the message: ‘Catch it early, treat it right, and survive it.’ Together, we can build a Ghana where no woman or man dies from breast cancer,” she added.
