Solid Express supports deprived Children

Solid Express Ghana Limited, an imports and exports firm, has donated items valued at GH¢12,500 to the Osu Children’s Home in Accra.

The donation, which is one of the largest received by the Home since its establishment, included a deep-freezer, gas cooker, gallons of cooking oil, bags of rice and wheat, crates of canned drink, packs of sugar and milk, confectionaries, detergents, disinfectant, diapers, bags of sachet-water, school-bags and learning aids.

Youssef Chahine, Director of the company, presenting the items said the company considered it important to initiate the social responsibility project because companies have a sacred responsibility to take care of society.

He explained that the donation was targetted at helping the company provide support to orphanages and other institutions across the country, which is the firm’s way of contributing to improvement in the welfare of the underprivileged in society.

The company, he said, is mindful of the challenges involved in taking care of a large number of orphans and less-privileged children, and hopes the donation will assist management of the Home to address the children’s needs.

Mrs. Sharon Abbey, Director of the Osu Children’s Home, thanked the company for the gesture which she described as very timely because the Home was running out of stock.
She promised that the items will be put to good use and urged other corporate bodies to emulate the gesture.
