The annual Pumpkins Charity Festival which brings together philanthropists, families, school children, representatives of corporate institutions and other individuals to reaffirm their desire to have dedicated support for deprived children and education in rural communities around the country is here with us again.
Organizer, Pumpkins Foundation says this year’s event, aims at raising funds for the construction of a 6-unit classroom block, resource center, library, educational materials as well as sanitary means for the Tupaa M.A Primary School, Tupaa, a deprived community in Ga South, near Obom in the Greater Accra Region.
The Foundation adopted the Tupaa Community for easy social impact of its social intervention strategies which focuses on the education, health and basic human needs of deprived children and their communities.
The Foundation was established in 2010 as a child focused organization dedicated to the promotion of the general wellbeing of poor and needy children.
With a tag line, “KIDS HELPING KIDS” the Pumpkins Foundation seeks to empower children to be agents of change and support other children in need, their communities as well as other charitable causes.
