The Children\u2019s Support Fund, set up to provide long-term care for the children of those who died in the August 6 helicopter crash, has so far raised GH\u20b57,292,135 and US$20,000. <\/p>\n

The amount reflects fresh contributions received between September 12 and 24, 2025.<\/p>\n

An update from managers of the fund noted that both organisations and individuals have continued to donate. <\/p>\n

Among the corporate donors are Risk Management Ltd., Federated Commodities, Willbeck Consult, Sida Global Logistics & Engineering Ltd., the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n

Private donations have also come in, including from Accra Metropolitan Chief Executive, Michael Kpakpo Allotey, as well as Dr. Li & Chen Guo Wei.<\/p>\n

Senior Presidential Advisor on Governmental Affairs and Coordinator of the Fund, Dr. Valerie Sawyerr, thanked all contributors for their generosity. <\/p>\n

She noted that the money will go directly towards the education, healthcare, and overall welfare of the children left behind.<\/p>\n

The fund further reminded the public that donations are still welcome. <\/p>\n

Contributions could be made through Stanbic Bank Ghana Limited (Stanbic Heights Branch) in cedis or dollars, as well as through cheques, bank drafts, and mobile money platforms.<\/p>\n

The August 6 helicopter crash claimed the lives of eight Ghanaians five government officials and three officers from the Ghana Armed Forces, sparking an outpouring of public solidarity. <\/p>\n

Since then, corporate bodies, state institutions, and individuals have continued to back the initiative to ensure the affected children receive the care and opportunities they need for the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
