The items, which include 51 bags of rice, beans and maize, and 50 cases of Voltic Mineral Water, was meant to assist the recent floods victims in the Eastern and Volta Regions.

Ms. Adjoba Kyiamah, Corporate/legal Affairs Manager of Accra Brewery Limited, making the presentation said: “Both companies were moved by the plight of the victims, particularly the story of a man who drowned because he decided to brave the water and go and get food for his family.”

She added: “Accra Brewery has been a caring member of Ghanaian society since 1931, and as it celebrates 80 years of existence it will continue to give back to the nation that has and continues to keep it in business.”

The Deputy National Coordinator of NADMO, Mr. Sylvester Azantilow, receiving the donation expressed gratitude to the two companies for their initiative.

This is a commendable step towards helping disaster victims in the country, especially in the wake of recent floods in the Eastern and Volta Regions which unfortunately resulted in the loss of lives.

“It is our responsibility to support those who survived, taking into consideration the fact that a lot of them have lost farmlands and livestock -- and in effect their livelihood. We are appealing to civil society and corporate bodies to take up the challenge,” said Mr. Azantilow.

The recent floods in the Eastern and Volta Regions, saw a large number of people being displaced, with over 10,000 coming from the Eastern Region alone.
