Lordina Foundation

The Lordina Foundation is a non-governmental organisation dedicated to the welfare of the underprivileged in Ghana, particularly Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) as well as Women.

The Foundation, previously known as Alternative Source of Income Program (ASOIP) has over the years embarked on several activities geared towards poverty alleviation, women and youth empowerment, promotion of quality healthcare and support for education.

These activities include:

• Donating medical supplies and equipment to poorly resourced health facilities
• Offering free integrated health screening services in various communities
• Donating essentials to orphanages and to ostracised women (alleged witches) at “Witch Camps” for their upkeep
• Assisting brilliant but needy students with scholarships to enable them pursue their academic dreams
• Providing destitute artisans with start-up kits to enable them make meaningful livelihoods out of their acquired skills
• Providing Persons with Disabilities groups with targeted support

“While the government is committed to improving the health and welfare of the people, it cannot achieve all that by itself. The onus rests with individuals, NGOs and other charitable organisations to complement the efforts of the government to provide development-oriented support.”

Mrs. Lordina Dramani Mahama Former First Lady of Ghana & President of the Lordina Foundation.
