Twenty-two families in Kintampo, once living in cramped and unsafe conditions, now have safe, permanent homes thanks to a GH¢2 million housing project by Compassion International Ghana and its church partners.
The initiative, inspired by Dutch athletes who witnessed the housing challenges during the 2023 Muskathlon charity event, aims to provide not only shelter but also restore dignity and hope to some of the community's most vulnerable residents.
The handover ceremony, held on Thursday, August 1, 2025, in Nante, was attended by municipal leaders, chiefs, pastors, and community members.
In a speech delivered on behalf of the National Director of Compassion International Ghana, Kobina Yeboah Okyere, the organisation emphasised that the project was "not just about bricks and mortar" but about "restored hope, renewed dignity, and the promise of stability for families who, for years, have longed for a safe and permanent place to call home." Okyere added that the project aligned with Compassion's goal of building "thriving and resilient families," noting that a safe home "fosters peace, offers stability, and becomes a sacred space where children can dream, grow, and flourish." The initiative began in October 2023 when Compassion International Ghana hosted the Muskathlon in Kintampo.
