Members of the organisation went from house to house in Bole to raise funds for the patients.

Operations manager of Wipe-Away foundation who led his colleagues on the fundraising campaign, Agrowura Musah Abdul Fatawu told Citi news the foundation has decided to use the new year’s day to work and save the lives of the sick in society.
