Founder and Chair of Trustees Little Angels Trust (LAT), a charity, Dame Lavinia Enim (right), led her team to raise in excess of GH¢50,000 last Saturday when the Labadi Beach Hotel hosted partner angels, ambassadors, patrons and sponsors of LAT to a night of ‘Appreciation and Thanksgiving’ in commemoration of their 20th anniversary.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO 2021), each year, an estimated 400,000 children and adolescents aged 0-19 develop cancer. Many aren’t able to afford treatment; and in low income countries, less than 30 percent of childhood cancers are cured.
For 20 years, LAT has advocated on the importance of early detection and treatment of childhood cancer. Besides often paying for medical treatment for many children, LAT has also frequently provided nourishment for over 51,000 children across four main hospitals it supports within Accra. They include the Children’s Block of Korle-Bu, Princess Marie Louise Hospital, Accra Psychiatric Hospital and Mamobi Hospital.
Regularly donating toys for the children, LAT also provides essential medical supplies, including safety syringes, hand sanitisers, face masks, gloves, detergents and antiseptic wipes to them.
While believing they can’t make their illness disappear, with help from donors, @LittleAngelsTrust works diligently to bring about a little cheer.
