GA/R: Father Campbell builds mosque for cured lepers
Rev Father Andrew Campbell has constructed a mosque at the Weija Leprosarium in the Ga South municipality of the Greater Accra Region to commemorate his 77th birthday.
The mosque is to serve the cured Muslim lepers in the Leprosarium.
The mosque was inaugurated on Wednesday, March 29, 2023, by Ben Abdallah Banda, the coordinator of the Zongo and Inner-Cities Secretariat on behalf of the Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, who is a life patron of the Cured Lepers Aid Committee.
Rev Fr Campbell in a speech noted that lepers had been cautioned against begging for alms on the streets, as the practice undermined efforts being made to make their lives better.
He expressed gratitude to the government and especially the Vice-President for his contribution to the well-being of lepers.
All cured lepers are placed on the government’s social intervention programme called the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty.
They also receive stipends from the District Assemblies Common Fund.
The inauguration was attended by the Chief Executive Officer of the Coastal Development Authority (CODA), Mr Jerry Ahmed.
