Carelink Foundation Expands Education and Health Outreach in Oti and Volta Regions
Carelink Foundation, a Ghana-based nonprofit focused on health and education, has expanded support to underserved communities across the Oti and Volta regions in a series of interventions praised by schools and health administrators, officials said.
On 19 July 2023, Motoka No. 1 D/A Primary School in the Krachi Nchumuru District received textbooks, classroom furniture, uniforms, food supplies, and hygiene items. School leaders said the donations improved attendance and classroom participation, describing the programme as a practical boost for rural learning.
On June 1, 2023, the Volta School for the Deaf and Blind was supported with sanitary items and food provisions. Photographs were not permitted under school policy; however, in a letter of appreciation reviewed by this newspaper, administrators described the intervention as timely and supportive of inclusive education for children with hearing and speech impairments.
Healthcare delivery also benefited. On March 3, 2024, the Maternity Department of Dambai Health Centre in the Oti Region received antiseptics, diapers, powdered milk, and hygiene supplies to bolster maternal and newborn care. Health officials said the support helped reduce infection risks and improved nutrition outcomes for vulnerable mothers and babies.
Carelink Foundation is led by Dr. Clement Arthur, a clinician and public health advocate whose role in coordinating and supervising the outreach has been noted by partner institutions. Letters from beneficiary schools and facilities reviewed by this newspaper consistently referenced executive oversight, planning, and implementation led by the foundation.
Founded in Sunyani, Carelink Foundation works with schools, clinics, and community leaders to close resource gaps for vulnerable populations. The organization’s recent programmes form part of a broader push to strengthen basic education, support maternal and child health, and promote equity for students with disabilities, according to documents shared with this newsroom.
The foundation has also extended its outreach beyond Ghana. On February 25, 2025, Arnold Primary School in Uganda received school supplies and health education materials, with administrators describing the effort as a model for cross-border humanitarian partnership.
Local education and health officials said the initiatives reflect growing civic support for communities facing structural barriers. Further engagements are expected as schools and clinics align upcoming needs assessments with the foundation’s calendar of activities.
