The Virtuous Ladies Wing of The Church of Pentecost’s Women’s Ministry at Akosombo New Combine District has visited the Akuse Female Prisons and donated various items to the facility.
Items such as bags of rice, toilet paper, and detergents were donated to the inmates during the visit, which took place recently. The gesture was intended to help with the inmates’ maintenance.

She stated that she has been incarcerated for the past nine years. She lamented the fact that her daughter was now in senior high school and wondered how the young lady was paying her bills. She advised young ladies to take good care of themselves in order to avoid ending up in such life-altering situations
