The Wenette Hope Foundation has successfully organised the 2nd Edition of its Bronya Attire Project, a Christmas outreach initiative aimed at promoting health, dignity and skills development among vulnerable children.

The event, held on 13th December at the Great Missions International Rehabilitation and Children’s Home at Teshie–Nungua, benefited over 70 children and 15 caregivers, with support from more than 20 volunteers. The project was led by the Founder of the foundation, Ms. Wendy Anna Egyirkoom, through strategic collaboration with health professionals, social enterprises, creative partners and volunteers.

Unlike previous editions, this year’s outreach went beyond clothing donation to provide a holistic package of healthcare, skills training and social support. Beneficiaries received medical screening, optical and dental services, public speaking and communication training, vocational skills exposure, menstrual health education, footwear distribution and festive activities.

One of the highlights of the event was the “Shoes of Hope” experience, organised in partnership with Samaritan’s Feet Ghana, where children participated in a symbolic foot-cleaning exercise before receiving new shoes. The exercise was aimed at restoring dignity, boosting confidence and reinforcing values of compassion and respect.

Medical screening and consultations were coordinated by Dr. Roland E. Eghan, a member of the Wenette Hope Foundation. Optical services were provided by Lenzvision Optical & Eyecare, led by Dr. Raphael Kyei, while dental care was delivered by Peb Dental Clinic, under the leadership of Dr. Esther Priscilla Biamah Danquah.

The project also addressed menstrual health needs, as EcoPeriod, founded by Amdiya Abdul Latiff, donated reusable sanitary pads to adolescent girls and provided education on menstrual hygiene and sustainability.

In addition, NovusCircle Consulting, led by Mr. Mustapha Ibrahim, facilitated public speaking and communication training to build confidence and leadership skills among the children, while Grant Cosmetics, led by Ms. Linda Afiba Grant, provided basic cosmetics skills training. Medication and first-aid support were supplied by Kofikrom Pharmacy.

As part of the clothing component of the project, beneficiaries received custom-made outfits using fabrics donated by Tex Styles Ghana Limited, producers of Woodin and GTP, the official fabric sponsors. The fabrics were sewn into outfits by fashion designers SL Manera, Frankelianth and Wonder By Liz.

The event was documented by Staple Studios, led by Etornam Ahiator, Filmed by Dan, led by Daniel Ayittah, and 233times.net, to ensure wider public awareness of the initiative.

A unique aspect of this year’s project was funding support from Wenette Shop and Wenette Bags, two social enterprises established to support the foundation’s humanitarian work. A portion of sales from the enterprises throughout the year was dedicated to financing the outreach.

The Wenette Hope Foundation expressed gratitude to its members, sponsors, partners and volunteers for their dedication and support, noting that the success of the project reflects the power of collaboration and community-driven development.

The foundation reaffirmed its commitment to expanding the Bronya Attire Project as part of its mission to restore hope and improve the lives of vulnerable children.
