Today, The Children’s Heart Foundation
Ghana celebrates a moment of hope, funding lifesaving open-heart surgeries for
two children born with congenital heart disorders. The presentation took place
at the Cardiothoracic Centre of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, where these
life-changing procedures will be carried out, giving the children a renewed
chance at life.
This milestone was made possible through a
beautiful convergence of generosity. The Australian High Commissioner to Ghana
(H.E. Berenice Owen-Jones), inspired by her own journey as a mother of a child
who once required heart surgery, helped mobilise critical funds through the
Melbourne Cup charity fundraiser. Complementing this, additional funding was
generated through the Foundation’s recent Health Walk, powered by the energy
and compassion of over 100 students and staff from Tema International School,
SOS Hermann Gmeiner College, and Al-Rayan International School. Their efforts
added significant value to our fundraising initiative and continue to support
the Foundation’s work to raise awareness and mobilise resources for children
living with congenital heart disorders.
One child has already undergone successful
surgery and is recovering well, while the second is scheduled in the coming
weeks.
Now 15 years strong, The Children’s Heart
Foundation Ghana has supported over 250 children with lifesaving surgeries, but
the journey continues, with over 50 children still waiting for their turn. Can
you help? Have a heart, save a life.
A powerful reminder that together, we can
make a difference
