Foundation launched to support women, needy students

The Esther Amoakohene Davis Memorial Foundation has been established in Cape Coast to support women, needy students, orphans, the aged, and vulnerable individuals and families, with the goal of strengthening communities and improving lives. The foundation was named in honor of Esther Amoakohene Davis, a former staff member of the Central Regional Development Commission (CEDECOM), who embodied Christian virtues such as love, kindness, and self-control.

Daniel Ankrah, the foundation's chairman, stated that the organization aims to empower women through soft loans and financial guidance, support the education of brilliant but needy students, provide care for orphanages, and offer assistance to the elderly. He emphasized that the foundation intends to mobilize resources to reach beyond towns and communities, supporting a wide range of individuals in need.

CEDECOM's Acting Executive Director, Gabriel Fiatui, expressed willingness to collaborate with the foundation and establish a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to work together on joint programs. The Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly's Chief Executive, George Justice Arthur, commended the initiative, appealing to individuals and institutions to support the foundation's efforts and expressing a commitment to creating the enabling environment necessary to foster humanity.
