Dearly beloved, welcome to our page the WELFARE COMMITTEE of the KWAME NKRUMAH UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, KNUST coordinating branch of the NATIONAL UNION OF PRESBYTERIAN STUDENTS-GHANA (NUPS-G). This is one of the oldest committees formed in the union since its inception in the early 1970s. This committee’s formation was necessitated by the welfare needs of members and most essentially in fulfilment of scripture as in Matthew’s gospel according to chapter 25 verses 31-46 of which parts reads:

“FOR I WAS HUNGRY AND YOU GAVE ME NOTHING TO EAT. I WAS THIRSTY AND YOU GAVE ME NOTHING TO DRINK. I WAS A STRANGER AND YOU DID NOT INVITE ME, I NEEDED CLOTHES AND YOU DID NOT CLOTHE ME, I WAS IN PRISON AND YOU DID NOT LOOK FOR ME…” (Verses 42 & 43).

The basic objective of the establishment is to attend to the welfare needs of the good and precious ladies and gentlemen of this Union and the honourable Associates and our indefatigable Alumni attention is also extended to even strangers who find themselves in our fold. Among the areas where attention is given pre-eminence is our sick colleagues, in times of bereavement (only for members’ nuclear families of members and Alumni), weddings, in financial difficulties (note this can only be done with approval from the executive committee). The committee also plays an instrumental role in the organisation of Rallies, Leadership Training Seminars and other activities of the coordinating branch.
The committee over the years has been under the auspices of the Assistant Secretary who doubles as the Welfare officer as enshrined in our constitution.

The Welfare committee is made up of five dedicated, vibrant and willing-to-serve members’ vis-à-vis:
• Jennifer Obuobi-Donkor (Chairperson of the Welfare Committee)
• Gifty Hadjor
• Adu Kwadwo Gyimah
• Nana Bawuah
• P.K. Ofori

The Chairperson’s message to all members in the coordinating branch is “Continue steadfastly in the Kingdoms business, for God is not unjust to forget about your labour of love, for in your difficult moments the Lord will be there for you.”
WELFARE! WE CARE
