The Accra Rehabilitation Centre has called for additional aid, including teaching materials, to meet the needs of its inmates. The appeal follows a five‑day corporate social responsibility exercise by Melcom Ghana, through the Melcom Care Foundation, which delivered 1,000 hot meals to five care institutions across Accra.
Inmate Eric Badudiwoh welcomed the donation but said more assistance was needed to support the centre’s work. “We need more, more, more, more help. We need teaching materials… So, when we sit one on one, we can voice all this out, so that you can take it, and then whatever area you want to help, you’re welcome,” he said.
Badudiwoh encouraged potential donors to engage directly with the centre to understand its needs and identify areas where they could offer further assistance. Melcom Ghana’s Public Relations Officer, Joseph Kpormegbey, said the Melcom Care Foundation was established to reflect the company’s commitment to giving back to society, inspired by the late chairman Bhagwan Ramchand Khubchandani.
“This week, we decided to visit selected orphanages and this Accra Rehabilitation Centre, so that we give back to society as part of our corporate social responsibility,” Kpormegbey said. He added that the company would work towards providing the necessary assistance, noting the challenges involved in running care facilities.
The five‑day exercise, which ran from 5 to 9 October 2026, provided 200 hot meals each to five selected institutions, bringing the total to 1,000 meals. The other beneficiaries were Osu Children’s Home, Teshie Children’s Home, Blissful Children’s Home and Nyamedua Children’s Home.
Moving forward, the centre hopes to secure teaching and building materials to enhance its rehabilitation programmes. Donors are invited to contact the centre directly to discuss how best to support its mission.
