Kadjebi (O/R), April 2, GNA — Reverend Ms Justine Seyram Dzakodzo, Pastor of the E.P. Church, Elorm Parish, Kadjebi, Oti Region, has urged individuals, families, and institutions to show love and compassion to less privileged children to help them realise their full potential.
She said children require adequate care, protection, and guidance to grow into responsible and productive adults, stressing that society has a collective duty to safeguard their wellbeing.
Rev. Ms Dzakodzo made the call in a pre-Easter message to the Ghana News Agency (GNA), where she underscored the importance of nurturing children in an environment that promotes dignity and holistic development.
She emphasised the need for parents and guardians to provide nutritious food, explaining that proper nutrition is essential for children’s mental growth and physical development.
“Children must be given the right nourishment and attention to help them develop their cognitive abilities and remain healthy,” she said.
The Reverend Minister, who also serves as Treasurer of the Kadjebi District Local Council of Churches, cautioned against neglect, violence, and exploitation, noting that such practices hinder the growth and future prospects of children.
She urged communities, faith-based organisations, and government agencies to intensify efforts to protect children’s rights and ensure their welfare at all times.
Rev. Ms Dzakodzo further appealed to stakeholders to use the Easter season as a period of reflection, compassion, and renewed commitment to supporting vulnerable groups in society, particularly children.
She reiterated that showing love and care to the less privileged is not only a moral responsibility but also a step towards building a more inclusive and prosperous society.
