He said the Foundation will be persistent in its empowerment projects to bridge the huge poverty gap. “Government do it alone so the way forward is to continue doing what we are doing to ensure that wealth is evenly distributed. We pray that we get more support to extend our programmes to many communities.” He said

The Executive Director, Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative Mina Mensah, called for support for CCF to enable it continue its human centred programmes. She advised the beneficiaries to use the support judiciously. “The work of CCF does not only improve the living standards of the poor but it also promotes human rights so there is the need that we support them.” She appealed.
