Melcom Care Foundation has donated GH¢500,000 to the Ghana Medical Trust Fund in support of the Fund’s ongoing “Heal Ghana Month” campaign.
The donation, which satisfies the health aspect of the Foundation’s primary focus, apart from education, was made during a visit to the Secretariat of the Trust Fund in Accra by a delegation from the Melcom Group.
Speaking during the presentation, Mr. Ramesh Sadhwani, Group Managing Director, said the Foundation decided to support the initiative after observing the growing impact of the Trust Fund through various media reports.
“We have come across loads of media publications on the work of the Trust Fund, which is an initiative of President John Dramani Mahama, and we felt it was worthy for us to add a little bit of what we can. Hopefully, under your guidance, it will go a long way to helping Ghanaians,” he said.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the Fund, Administrator Obuobia Darko-Opoku expressed profound gratitude to the Melcom Care Foundation for what she described as a kind gesture.
The Melcom Care Foundation also touched down at the office of the National Chief Imam to donate varieties of food items as part of its commitment to corporate social responsibility to support the Muslim community during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
The donation, valued at over GH₵ 500,000, included 300 bags of Platinum Jasmine Rice (45 kg), 300 bottles of Platinum Sunflower Oil (5 L), 2,400 packs of Happy Flakes Cube Sugar, 2,400 packs of Seara Chicken Sausage, 3,600 packs of Milkana Spreadable Milk Cheese, and 600 bottles of Poppiz Sparkling White Grape Wine.
Additionally, 1,000 Iftar meals consisting of fried rice and chicken were provided for the evening’s fast-breaking.
This gesture continues the Foundation’s annual tradition of supporting the Office of the National Chief Imam and the broader Muslim community during the Ramadan season.
