In Ghana, we operate in Dodowa, a rural village situated about 2 hours away from the capital city, Accra. Here an orphanage was built, which hosts around 150 children of different ages. The sanitary conditions are very difficult: children do not have drinkable water, nor mosquito nets; many of them do not even have a bed, and malaria is very common. Often they cannot eat twice a day.
Benedict is a one-and-a-half-year-old child. He is one of the many orphans that live in the orphanage we support in Dodowa. His mother has a serious psychological disease. She carried two babies full term, who she got from two different men she did not know. Both children were abandoned. The second one is Benedict. His mother gave him birth directly within the orphanage and then ran away. She is seen walking around the village crying out aggressively that they took her baby away from her, but she doesn't even remember his name and where he is. She is an outsider, she is considered dangerous and possessed by evil. Little Benedict is a very sweet child. He helps adults in the daily routine, he even carries wood and stones, if needed. And he definitely loves when he is told stories.

BUILDING A FIRST AID CLINIC
IN DODOWA
Soho will take care of a little village in the heart of Ghana: Dodowa. Some years ago, Mama Jane, a wonderful Ghanaian woman, built an orphanage that now is hosting 200 children, the POTTER VILLAGE.
African typical diseases, such as malaria, kill constantly many people, especially children. Because of dust, dirt and wetness any infection is dangerous, even that caused by a mosquito prick. Since they cannot get a proper treatment, children develop more easily physical problems, which are routine
in the Western world.
Like Jaow, a child who was born with a foot deformity: he was not surgically treated and now he has a handicap. Another example is that of a little girl that lives in the orphanage as well, who suffers from epilepsy. Since she is not receiving the right treatment, she often falls down (last time she dangerously hit her mouth onto a stone, this caused her an infection that was treated too late).
This is why SOHO bought an allotment in the village where to build a clinic.
Here children will be able to get first-aid assistance without having to go to the hospital in the capital city, which is far away and very expensive. Moreover, periodically we would like to send here doctors and healthcare assistants for free, in order to give the children constant help. Buying a SOHO proprietary allotment will allow us to build the clinic independently and provide it with the basic medical equipment for small emergencies.
If the time has come for you to help ensure that these children can have the necessary assistance then now gives SOHO your contribution . With your help we will complete our mission
