The Nana Donkor Arthur Charity has embarked on a philanthropic mission to support persons on the lower side of social ladder.
The exercise was begun with a donation to Mr. Kwadwo Kuffour, a visually-impaired farmer, who owns a four acreage farm at Apinkra, in the Bosomtwe District.
During the presentation, the NDA Charity presented Kwadwo Kuffour with agricultural equipment such as overalls, wellington boot, fertilisers, gloves, and clothes among others, which amounting to GH¢2,000.
The Charity further presented him with a cheque of GH¢3,000.
In another development, the NDA Charity presented a cheque of GH¢2,300 to Sadat Samba, a one-year-old son of Kofi Boakye at Bremang UGC in the Suame Municipality.
The Charity has also supported the surgery of a woman in the Central Regional city of Mankessim with a cheque of GH¢5,000.
Speaking to the media, Kwadwo Kuffour expressed appreciation to NDA Charity for coming to his aid.
According to him, his unwavering goal was to become a farmer and impart the knowledge acquired to his fellow visually impaired colleagues and ordinary people to help them eke out a decent living.
Quizzed about why I he choose to be a farmer, Kuffour responded that he turned to farming because he did not want to beg and depend on others for a living.
This career path, according to Kuffour, who was named the best farmer at Apinkra in the Bosomtwe District in 2014, said farming had impacted on his life positively, hence, he wanted his colleagues to learn it and become financially independent in life.
“If I beg and beg, what will I depend on in future?” adding that farmer was good.
He, however, expressed worry about theft at his farm.
Kuffour, who is farming on school land, appealed to the state to assist people with disabilities with arable lands to farm since it was not easy to come by.
Kwame Agyenim Boateng, the Ashanti Regional Representative of NDA Charity, told the media that the foundation embarked on this exercise to help the poor and needy and give hope to the hopeless in society.
