Bernard Martei Korley (BMK), a former parliamentary aspirant in the 2023 National Democratic Congress (NDC) primaries for the Ledzokuku Constituency, celebrated Easter this year with widows in the Teshie community in a heartfelt show of compassion and solidarity.
The event, held on April 22, 2025, was marked by warmth and generosity, and aimed to uplift and support widows who often face social isolation, financial hardship, and emotional distress following the loss of their spouses.
Designed to bring joy and a renewed sense of belonging, the gathering reflected the Easter spirit of hope, renewal, and giving.
“Easter is a reminder of new beginnings. It is a season that reminds us of the power of compassion, and today we come together to share not just a meal but our love and support for these strong women who continue to persevere,” Martei Korley said during the event.
He emphasized that beyond celebration, the occasion was a statement of solidarity with a group often overlooked in society.
“Widows deserve our attention, our care, and our respect. They are the silent pillars of many families and communities. Supporting them is a moral duty,” he added.
The highlight of the day came when Martei Korley presented a cheque of GH¢100,000 to the leader of the Ledzokuku Widows Association, Comfort Niikai Commey. The donation is expected to fund welfare initiatives such as skills training, small business support, and health interventions to enhance the well-being of widows in the area.
In response, Madam Commey expressed profound gratitude, describing the gesture as “timely and transformative.” She also called on individuals and organizations to emulate Martei Korley’s example.
