Sheikh Ridwan pres enting a fowl to an orphan
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Alpha Radio, Sheikh Mohammed Ridwan, has announced plans to build a modern orphanage in Kumasi, the Ashanti Regional capital.
According to the CEO, the orphanage would be used to properly house orphans, especially those from the Zongo communities.
For the past six years, Sheikh Ridwan and Alpha Radio have been feeding thousands of orphans during Eid-ul-Fitr.
But Sheikh Ridwan wants to extend his works by building an orphanage to support orphans.
“This year, we are supporting about 5,000 people, including orphans and widows with bags of rice, sugar, chicken and cash. After six years of doing this during Eid-ul-Fitr, we want to build an orphanage so that we can properly take care of orphans,” he said.
Sheikh Ridwan warned that miscreants would mislead orphans to become criminals if society neglects them.
“This is what we want to prevent and so I am appealing to the public to give us the needed support to realize this ambition,” he added.
Alhaji Abdul Mumin, General Manager, Alpha Radio, said, “We also donated to Muslims at Kumasi Central Prison and KATH.”
Jackson Prah, a staunch Christian, who donated to Alpha Radio, revealed that Christians and Muslims serve one living God.
