The Children’s Support Fund was created to ensure long-term financial and educational assistance for the dependents of those who lost their lives in the tragic August 6 helicopter crash, which claimed the lives of several public officials, including former Defence Minister Dr. Omane Boamah.
The government says contributions are still being accepted as part of a nationwide effort to secure the children’s future and sustain their education.
