Transforming the Social Status of the Deprived
Social Transformation Programme
“Assuredly, I say to you, in as much as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.” Matthew 25:40
Message from Vice President
The period under review can be described as one of progress focusing mainly on education and health interventions for children and youth.
As a result of the financial support received, 69 students were supported and are currently enjoying uninterrupted education at the basic, senior high and tertiary level. In addition, 18 senior high school students from the Upper East Region whose outstanding performance at the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) have earned them the maiden Eastwood Anaba Scholarship Scheme. The medical outreach programme reached out to 290 inmates and staff of the James Camp Prisons in the Greater Accra Region. 2 entrepreneurs were supported to set up their businesses. Mentoring services were provided to the Nyariga Doone Girls Junior High School with the aim of empowering them to be self-starters in whatever field they find themselves in their quest for academic excellence.
We are proud to be working with a dedicated team and caring individuals committed to ensuring that programmes for our target group are fully and well implemented. As we move forward in 2020 and beyond and with the continuous support of our donors, partners and the governing council, we are ready for the achievements ahead. I look forward to continuing to support this great ministry and its dedicated team to achieve the mission of endowing lives of the vulnerable wherever we work.
I invite you to read this report and see how by partnering with us, we can help children in deprived communities
Who we are
Social Transformation is a social intervention division of the Eastwood Anaba Ministries (EAM) a non-denominational not-for profit Christian organisation. The unit was established in 2010 to provide assistance to the needy particularly orphans and destitute in rural and deprived communities who otherwise would not have any means of equipping themselves with any productive skills.
The ministry has so far transformed hundreds of lives especially in Northern Ghana through its educational and health programmes focusing mainly on children, support for widows and supporting others in business. Our interventions are targeted primarily at empowering our beneficiaries to become self-sustaining with the ultimate aim of transforming lives of individuals, families, communities and nations.
How we work
Social Transformation sees this as an opportunity to assist in the drive to alleviate poverty in Ghana targeting deprived communities and has sought to do this through various interventions in areas especially education, health and any need that may arise especially for children. We believe that when people are educated they are better able to respond to their health needs and that of their families and contribute to the well- being of their communities. But the foundations of such life skills are largely set at school.
Sources of support
Funding is mainly from EAM, the President’s Initiative, Fountain Gate Chapel-Desert Pastures, (FGC) and the generous support from well wishers.
