This initiative was part of the foundation's annual outreach programme held at Kasseh in the Ada East District.
According to Prophet Peasah, becoming a widow is not a choice and often comes with significant emotional and economic difficulties. He emphasized that these challenges require compassion and practical support from individuals, communities, churches, and organisations. The Prophet, who is also a pastor of the Assemblies of God, Believers Family Sanctuary Church at Tema Community 25, stressed the importance of community support in alleviating the hardships faced by vulnerable groups.
The CODOP Outreach Foundation's annual outreach programme focused on providing essential services to widows and other vulnerable groups. The programme included free health screening, health education, wellness promotion, and the distribution of food and other relief items. Prophet Peasah expressed his gratitude to Nutrifoods Ghana Limited, producers of Tasty Tom products; Frozen Food, producers of OBA products; Icefood Limited; and Jada Food for their continued support of the foundation's programmes.

He stated that CODOP remains open to collaborations that would enable it to expand its support to vulnerable groups across communities. The Prophet's call to action emphasizes the need for collective responsibility in addressing the challenges faced by widows and other vulnerable groups in society.
The foundation's support for over 2,000 widows in the Ada area is a testament to its commitment to providing relief to those in need. Prophet Peasah's appeal to individuals, organisations, and communities to support vulnerable groups highlights the importance of social responsibility and community engagement. By working together, it is possible to make a significant impact on the lives of those who require assistance.
