Ghanaians hail Bawumia for helping 80-year-old homeless woman

Ghanaians have taken to social media to commend Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for coming to the aid of an 80-year-old destitute, Dari Poga in Gurungu in the Upper West Region.

Joy News filed a report on the plight of the homeless octogenarian, who had lost all 10 fingers and eight toes to leprosy from childhood.

The emotion-filled Joy News documentary revealed the sad story of how the old woman has lost four of her 10 children and how the remaining children have completely abandoned her.

Following the broadcast of the report, Vice President Bawumia was touched and swiftly intervened by sending emissaries, led by the Upper West Regional Minister Hafiz Bin Sallih, to deliver food items and cash to the old woman.

Not only that, Vice President Bawumia is also funding the construction of a two-bedroom house for the old woman at Gurungu.

It was this remarkable gesture by Dr. Bawumia which has got social media showing praises on the Vice President.

Pictures of building materials at the site for the construction of the two-bedroom house for the old woman which was posted online by Asempa FM, got people commending Dr. Bawumia for his magnanimity.
