Masonic Charities

From time to time, The Freemasons' Grand Charity supports overseas charities through grants to the appropriate District Grand Lodge.

District Grand Lodge of Ghana - £10,000

In 2007, the District Grand Lodge of Ghana received a grant of £10,000 towards the purchase of an Electromyogram Machine for the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra.  The machine will be used for the diagnosis and management of patients with nerve and muscle disorders.  The machine is the only one of its kind available to public health institutions in Ghana and will help to cut long waiting periods for patients and reduce the need to travel abroad for treatment for people from Korle-Bu and across the entire West African Sub-region.

The Machine was officially handed over to Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital by The Grand Master, HRH The Duke of Kent and the District Grand Master, Kow Abaka Quansah, during an official visit by The Grand Master to mark the celebration of 50 years of Ghanaian Independence.
