Royal Ladies donate to KBTH children with cancer unit
TO celebrate its 30th anniversary, the Royal Ladies Ministries, the women’s arm of Royalhouse Chapel International, has extended a helping hand to children battling cancer at the Pediatric Oncology Unit of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH).
The leadership of the group—comprising around 30 members—donated GH₵100,000 to support the treatment and care of young cancer patients at the hospital.

In addition to this financial contribution, the Royal Ladies Ministries also provided an undisclosed sum directly to the mothers of the children, helping to cover their accommodation, meals and other essentials, such as diapers.
The event, dubbed the "RLD3 Childhood Cancer Project", also featured a donation of vital supplies, including beds, mattresses, medical gowns, wheelchairs, sanitisers, detergents, mugs, bottled water and children's Bibles for distribution at the unit.
As part of the event, the group brought food, soft drinks and mineral water to treat the children, their mothers and hospital staff to a special party.
President General of Royal Ladies Ministries, Rev. Rita Korankye Ankrah, took the opportunity to pray for the healing and restoration of the children and their families, as well as for the staff at the KBTH.
Presenting the items, she said the Royalhouse Chapel International felt a deep responsibility to support those in need, particularly children who, through no fault of theirs, find themselves facing such challenging circumstances.
The acting CEO of Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Dr Frank Owusu Sekyere, stressed that healthcare, particularly for children, is a collective responsibility. He expressed heartfelt gratitude to the group for stepping in to support the care of the children.

Dr Owusu Sekyere also encouraged other corporate and social organisations to follow this example and contribute to similar causes.
“It is always a delight when people think about children and we have always said that we can’t do it all when it comes to health.
Gratitude
The Head of the Pediatric Oncology Unit, Prof. Lorna Renna, expressed deep gratitude to the leadership and members of Royal Ladies Ministries for their generous support. She also prayed for continued blessings upon them for their kindness and commitment.
