Lifeline gets commercial bakery to support childhood cancer care

Lifeline for Childhood Cancer Ghana, a non-governmental organisation (NGO), has commissioned a commercial bakery and graduated eight mothers of children undergoing cancer treatment under its specialised bakery training programme in partnership with the Retail and Business Banking (RBB) Ladies Association of Absa Bank Ghana.

The bakery, equipped with industrial baking equipment donated by the RBB Ladies Association of Absa Bank Ghana, forms part of efforts by Lifeline for Childhood Cancer Ghana to reduce the financial burden on families whose children are receiving cancer treatment while creating a sustainable source of funding for the organisation's activities.
