Dear Cherished Donor,
Feast of Hope 2022: Bringing Joy and Nourishment to Needy Children in Keta, Ghana
The Feast of Hope 2022, organized by Dels Foundation in collaboration with our esteemed donors, was a resounding success. Held in the fishing community of Dzelukofe, located in the Volta region of Ghana, this event aimed to provide a memorable Christmas experience for underprivileged children. The primary objective was to alleviate hunger and spread the love of Christ by offering nourishing meals, gifts, and clothing to approximately 500 children in need. Through the overwhelming support and generosity of our donors, we were able to surpass our initial target and extend our reach to a total of 700 children. This report serves to provide a professional account of the event and its impact.
Christmas is a significant occasion for Christians worldwide, commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. It is a time of celebration, feasting, and demonstrating love and compassion towards one another. Sadly, a large number of destitute children residing in slums and deprived communities in Ghana face the harsh reality of hunger during this festive season. Recognizing the urgent need to address this issue, Dels Foundation, in partnership with our valued donors, launched the Feast of Hope initiative.
