History was made in Tema Manhean when Proud Ga Dangme Youth (PGDY) spearheaded the opening of the newly built post-natal clinic and refurbished maternity ward at Manhean Polyclinic. The commission on Saturday, July 20, 2019, comes on the heel of urgent calls by citizens; many of whom wanted a face-lift at the only health facility in the community.
The Lighthouse-based project was entirely funded by the family of Kai and Rev. Emmanuel Nunu Lartey of Living Word Outreach Ministries. These stakeholders came to the aid of the town when PGDY publicized the constraints of the health. Through an online campaign dubbed #SocialMediaForSocialChange, PGDY created awareness on the deplorable state of the facility; got funding and stakeholder support to embark on the good works.
