Ring Road Central branch of Rotract donates to Marie Loise Hospital in Accra
The Rotract Club of Accra Ring Road Central, on Saturday September 19, donated items valued at 2,800 GhC to the Marie Louise Children's Hospital in Accra. The items included drugs, water and drinks for the children. Members of the club visited some of the wards and interacted with some of the children and their parents before officially making their donations to the hospital.
The donation was a continuation of previous charitable efforts by the club to improve the general wellbeing of patients in the children's hospital. Last year they donated items such as buckets for use by the patients and the hospital in general. Based on a need assessment conducted by the club this year, it realized that there was the need to provide certain drugs for families that cannot afford the drugs. The drugs included cough syrups and vitamins.
Rotract is the youth division of Rotary Ghana and it is committed to raising funds for the needy and vulnerable in society. The main objective of the club is for young entrepreneurs or well-to-do youths to give back to the society. According to the Vice President of the Club, the club has three other projects slated for the Rotract Year and he called on the youth to join the club in give back to communities.
