| Purpose: | Baffo Memorial Foundation (BMF) is a Non- Governmental Organization (NGO) which has been registered to operate in Ghana (Nkoranza in the Brong -Ahafo Region) since 14th December, 2011. It has a big heart and passion to rescue the plight of all the vulnerable in our societies. 0ver the years, more vulnerable people have emerged in our rural and urban communities across the country. Staying without any light or door of hope has sent some early into their graves. Others who have stood the test of time to date are also yearning for help to come. The Government is doing its best, but more are yet to be done for such vulnerable people. The Bible states in Isaiah 1:17 (Learn to do good; seek justice, help the oppressed; defend the cause of Orphans; fight for the rights of Widows.) Goodness to humanity by seeing to their needs in our societies is of paramount interest to our Heavenly Father. His beloved Son Jesus Christ manifested this passion by going everywhere possible to meet the needs of some deprived people. Thus, He healed the sick, cleansed the lepers, made the deaf and dump to hear and speak among other good deeds. (Matt. 11:5; Acts 10:38 and Eph.6:7). Jesus again emphasised His goodness to humanity message in Mathew 25:41-46. We in Baffo Memorial Foundation have therefore conceived the passion to reach out (with goodness) to all such people needing our support to be able to live a better and fulfilled life-style. We are committed to the total care and concern of the vulnerable people who are increasing daily in our societies. This is in no doubt a great responsibility that is not without challenges and it requires that you work together with commitment, passion, support, energy and creativity to achieve these objectives. As we strive to fulfill this noble social responsibility agenda, it is our wish and hopes that all people touched by this noble objective will humbly come to our aid with support and fervent prayers so that together we can reach these needy people and therefore achieve our goal. This is your chance and this is your season and I urge you all to make the most of it. May the Almighty God in Heaven, bless and preserve your life, family, business, children and all endeavours with His favours, breakthroughs, anointing and Holy Spirit Power as you partner with us now and forever |
