\"TheGhana\u2019s flagship orphanage, the Osu Children\u2019s Home, may be forced to close down as the home has run out of food and water to feed orphans in the home.<\/p>\n

The sad revelation was made by the Director of the Home, Madam Sharon Abbey in a chat with Adom News\u2019 Kofi Adomah, after she received a donation worth over Ghc 10,000 comprising food stuffs and provisions from the General Overseer of Mighty Chapel International, Pastor Chief Mensah.<\/p>\n

According to Madam Abbey, the home has suffered so much after the bad publicity it got from the expos\u00e9 by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas last year, which has seen donations to the Orphanage dwindle significantly.<\/p>\n

Anas Aremeyaw Anas uncovered some rots at the orphanage that were captured on video, which was widely condemned locally and internationally.<\/p>\n

The footage revealed the untold hardships of orphans of the Orphanage which is supervised by the Ministry of Employment and Social Welfare.<\/p>\n

The chilling revelations showed how caretakers of the orphanage shared gifts and donations meant for inmates amongst themselves and haul some to their homes.<\/p>\n

The Home spends Ghc 150 weekly on sachet water alone, plus additional cost for the supply of water by tankers service providers for other chores.<\/p>\n

The situation has been compounded by the malfunctioning borehole which supplies water to the Home.
\u201cWe have ran out of food and yesterday while I was in the kitchen it was my prayer that God will do a miracle. <\/p>\n

In fact the donations have reduced drastically because of the bad publicity, we are doing our best to deal with it so the public trust can be regained. Currently, we buy water because of the season and it is not easy at all\u201d Madam Abbey lamented.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the General Overseer of Mighty Chapel International, Pastor Chief Mensah has called on philanthropists to consider the children and give their widow\u2019s might to help sustain the home.<\/p>\n

The church has made it as part of its activities to donate items to the Home every.
The Mighty Church plans to build an Orphanage to support orphans but until that is done, \u201cthe church will continue this gesture to the inmates at the Osu Children\u2019s Home\u201d, Pastor Mensah revealed.<\/p>\n
