Accra, April 6,— The 2026 Love Feast – Community Easter Celebration has been positioned as a deliberate social intervention aimed at supporting vulnerable children and strengthening community inclusion in Accra.
Organized by the DAP Global Foundation in collaboration with The Outpouring Oasis and PowerRead Africa Foundation, the initiative brought together hundreds of children and families, many from underserved backgrounds, for a day of structured activities, mentorship, and direct support.
Speaking on the sidelines, the Founder of DAP Global Foundation, Dr. Amaris N. A. Perbi, described the programme as a targeted response to the needs of children who often lack access to basic resources and social opportunities.
“This is not just a celebration. It is a social intervention designed to ensure that children, especially those from deprived communities, feel included, supported, and empowered,” he said.
He explained that the initiative focuses on bridging social gaps by bringing together children from different socio-economic backgrounds to interact, learn, and build confidence in a safe and engaging environment.
Activities such as musical chairs, sack races, egg-and-spoon competitions, face painting, and dance contests were not only recreational but also structured to promote teamwork, creativity, and social interaction among participants.
Beyond the games, the intervention included direct educational support through a reward system aimed at addressing some of the immediate needs of children. Through a lucky draw, Kelvin Fiabor and Michael Boateng each received $200 to support their education. Phoebe Sam was awarded an Android tablet, while Ohene Adjei Baffour received GH¢200.
Dr. Perbi noted that such interventions are critical in addressing inequalities and providing children with opportunities to thrive.
“Some children need uniforms, books, or basic learning tools. When we step in to provide this support, we are not just meeting a need—we are shaping their future,” he added.
The event also featured a team-based competition between “Team Funny Face” and “Team Nakeeyat,” with Team Funny Face emerging winners with 10 points against Team Nakeeyat’s 2 points, earning a trophy.
The participation of entertainers such as Funny Face and Nakeeyat further enhanced the outreach, using entertainment as a tool to engage and inspire children.
Funny Face, speaking at the event, highlighted the importance of investing in children as a pathway to national development.
“Anything that supports children, I’m always ready to be part of it because they are the future,” he said, urging parents to expose their children to such initiatives.
According to organizers, the Love Feast project, which began in 2010, has expanded beyond Ghana to countries such as Rwanda and Tanzania, with additional outreach programmes targeting remote and deprived communities.
They emphasized that the initiative will continue to serve as a platform for social intervention, focusing on education, empowerment, and inclusion, while reaching more vulnerable children across different communities.
As the event concluded, organizers reiterated their commitment to scaling up the initiative, noting that sustained interventions of this nature are essential to building resilient and inclusive communities.
