DONATIONS

At Beacon House, families and friends are constantly asking Romana and Mary what would be helpful to donate. After long consideration, the staff has put together a list of a few essential items that would benefit the children and staff. 

Since the children’s education is one of Beacon House’s top priorities, educational DVDs are greatly appreciated. We also need DVD players that are multiregional/system and preferably work on 220V. 

In our office, each child (whether living at Beacon House or sponsored in schools) has a file. We are always needing to print and photocopy documents. We need ink cartridges for our printers (HP 98 or 45).

Diapers, diapers, diapers ... we have new babies and are in need of diapers.

 

Disposable and kitchen gloves and toilet paper are always needed. 

If you’re in Accra, Mercy, our cook, could use donations of protein foods - fish, chicken, goat, beef and eggs. These items would be helpful when preparing nutritious meals for the children.  We give our children daily vitamins ... so we're always in need of vitamins.


 

Soap ..... if you stay around Beacon House for a few days/a few hours, you will inevitably see children and staff washing ... washing clothes, washing dishes, etc.  We always need washing powder/soap for clothes and bar soap for bathing.  Bleach and disinfectants are needed for general house cleaning and dishes.





We need backpacks and lunch boxes, since we have 5 new children starting school this year


We appreciate all the help and feel very blessed to have such caring families and friends at Beacon House. 


Thank you for everything!
