Founder of Amenuve Outreach Ministry Donate 300 Clothes to Female Inmates of Kumasi Central Prison
The Ashanti Regional Prisons Chaplain and founder of Amenuve Outreach Ministry, Rev. Mrs Chief Superintendent Stella Ama Anku Katso, has continued her annual tradition of spreading joy this Christmas by donating 300 pieces of clothing to female inmates across Ghana.
This year’s donation, marking the 19th year of her charitable efforts, was presented in a heartfelt ceremony at Kumasi Central Female Prison, underscoring her ongoing commitment to the welfare and rehabilitation of incarcerated women.
The event was attended by inmates, prison officials, and other community members, all of whom were deeply moved by the gesture.
The clothing will provide the female prisoners not only with essential garments but also with a sense of dignity and the knowledge that they have not been forgotten during this holiday season.
Rev. Mrs. Katso, in her address, explained the importance of her mission and the impact it has had over the years. “For the past 19 years, I have been donating clothing to female inmates across Ghana.
This is my way of showing them that they are not abandoned and that people out here care for their well-being,” she said, with visible emotion.
She emphasized that her initiative goes beyond simply providing material support. “These clothes are a symbol of hope and compassion. I want these women to know that, despite their current situation, there is always a chance for a better future.
One day, they will be reintegrated into society and welcomed back with open arms,” Rev. Mrs. Katso explained, offering words of encouragement to the incarcerated women.
The Ashanti Regional Prisons Chaplain also used the opportunity to call on other philanthropists and organizations to extend similar support to female prisoners.
“While many people donate to orphanages, I urge others to think about our female prisoners. Small acts of kindness, like donating clothes, sandals, or other necessities, can have a profound impact on their lives and bring smiles to their faces,” she said.
In response, Mr James B. Mwinyelle, the Deputy Director of Prisons and Acting Officer in Charge of Kumasi Central Prison expressed deep gratitude for Rev. Mrs Katso’s long-standing contributions.
“This is not the first time she has shown kindness to our female inmates, and we are deeply appreciative of her continued efforts. Her support over the years has made a significant difference in the lives of many women,” he stated.
Mr. Mwinyelle further commended Rev. Mrs. Katso for her dedication to improving the well-being of prisoners, adding, “On behalf of the entire prison community, we thank her and pray for God’s blessings upon her. Her tireless work to improve the lives of these women is a true inspiration.”
He also appealed to other individuals and organizations to support the prison system, stressing that prisons are not just places for punishment but also for rehabilitation. “We welcome all forms of support and promise that anything donated will go directly to those in need,” he assured.
Rev. Mrs. Katso’s generous donation serves as a reminder of the true spirit of Christmas compassion, love, and selflessness. Through her work with Amenuve Outreach Ministry, she has made a lasting impact on the lives of countless female prisoners, giving them hope and a sense of belonging.
As the holiday season continues, her actions highlight the power of kindness, the importance of supporting those in need, and the transformative effect of community engagement.
Through her continued generosity, Rev. Mrs. Katso continues to inspire others to make a difference in the lives of those who may feel forgotten.
