GFA donates hampers to widows in Accra

The President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku, led members of the federation to donate to a group of widows in Accra. 

The FA boss visited the St Paul's Catholic Church in Kpehe, Accra, and St Anthony Catholic Church in Achimota, where hampers were presented to 50 widows from the congregation. The hampers contained African wax print fabric, rice, mackerel, cooking oil, and tomato puree.

The gesture is part of the football federation's commitment to supporting vulnerable groups and strengthening community bonds through compassion and faith.

“As people who do football, we ask you, our mothers, to pray for us so all will go well with us and with the Black Stars at the 2026 FIFA World Cup,” said Okraku during his address to the widows.

The beneficiaries of the FA's act expressed their heartfelt appreciation to the GFA President and his delegation. Beyond gratitude for the donation, they offered prayers for Ghana, the GFA, and the Black Stars, expressing optimism for a successful Mundial campaign.

Madam Elizabeth Sekyiwaa, the leader of the group, shared confidence in the Black Stars’ prospects, expressing hope that this tournament would bring greater success than previous editions.

Also welcoming the delegation, Parish Priest Rev. Fr. Francis Bawuah commended the GFA President for the initiative and offered prayers for the Football Association and the national team.

The visit concluded with moments of fellowship, songs of praise, and photographs shared with the widows.

The GFA delegation included Chairman of the Greater Accra Regional Football Association and Black Stars Management Committee member, Samuel Aboabre, Western Regional Football Association Chairman, Simon Ehomah, Michael Osekre, Chief of Staff and Malcolm Frazier, Director of the GFA Foundation.

Representing the Church were Madam Mary Ampah, Chairperson of the Parish Pastoral Council of St. Paul’s Roman Catholic Church, and Mrs. Jemima Attah Tengan, Secretary of the Church.
