Accra, March 18, – Holy Child School has celebrated its 80th anniversary with a landmark blood donation campaign, collecting 424 units to support hospitals in the Central Region.
Organised by the Holy Child Past Students Association (HOPSA) in collaboration with the school, the Kaysens Group, and the Kwaaba Foundation, the exercise brought together students, alumni, staff, and volunteers in a collective effort to save lives.
The donated blood will be supplied to Cape Coast Teaching Hospital and Swedru Government Hospital, helping to alleviate critical shortages, particularly in emergencies.
Maame Kwaaba Stephens, founder of Kwaaba Foundation and Kaysens Group, said more than 2,000 participants attended sensitisation sessions before giving blood. She highlighted the active involvement of students from St. Augustine’s College, Ghana National College, Mankessim Senior High Technical School, as well as volunteer groups such as the Westlands Keepfit Club and the National Blood Donors Association of Ghana.
As part of the anniversary celebrations, HOPSA’s Class of 1971 donated five blood donor beds valued at GH¢25,000 to the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, boosting its capacity to store and manage blood donations.
The organisers noted that the initiative not only strengthens national blood reserves but also fosters leadership, civic responsibility, and a culture of giving among students.
Mrs Linda Appiah, Headmistress, commended the effort and encouraged students to take part in future blood donation campaigns to save lives.
