In the fourth address to nation by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo on the novel COVID-19 pandemic, He informed the nation about the establishment of a COVID-19 Trust Fund which will be used to mitigate exigencies that may arise as a result of the pandemic.

The internal Province of Ghana of the Anglican Church in response to this call has made a donation to the National Trust Fund to help government fight COVID-19.

This donation was done on behalf of the province by the Diocesan Bishop of Accra Rt. Reverend Dr. Daniel S.M Torto due to restriction of movement currently in parts of the country, who seized the opportunity to say a word of prayer for the nation before the donation.
