SAVE the Mothers’ Trust (SMT), a non-governmental organisation based in Brandford in the United Kingdom, has extended its humanitarian services to communities in the Tamale metropolis and its environs.
The organisation is into water delivery, the provision of educational facilities and provision of food distribution programmes to vulnerable persons in the beneficiary communities.
At one of its service delivery sessions in the metropolis, the SMT donated new clothing worth over £2,000 to 100 people made up of 60 orphans and 40 widows and widowers.
The items included clothing, sweets and stationery for selected schools in the metropolis.
The Manager of SMT, Mr Mohammed Shahid, said the stationery would be distributed to two schools: Nagbago-Yapala and Ibn Abass Primary schools in the metropolis.
He said the organisation had a number of educational projects located in countries such as the United Kingdom and Pakistan. SMT started working in Ghana in 2006.
Two of the beneficiaries who are orphans aged 12 and 7, shared their experiences with the Daily Graphic, and said their father and mother died in year 2004 and 2008 respectively.
They indicated that although they got support from their relatives, they still missed their parents. The orphans, who are currently attending the Arabic and English Primary School in Tamale, expressed their gratitude to the SMT for supporting them with the items.
