Ghacem Foundation has given out a total of 11,000 bags of cement in support of developmental projects.

Over 111 beneficiaries from the northern parts of Ghana on Thursday received cement allocation chit for various health and education projects.

Addressing representatives of beneficiary institutions, the Managing Director of Ghacem, Stefano Gallini said the company was happy to give back to society as it cares about the plight of deprived communities of the country.

“This year we budgeted 25,000 bags because we want to see our communities grow as we add our quota towards national development through the Foundation.”

He said the company is committed to investing more in its CSR to support Ghana.

“We recently donated 2 truckloads in support of Appiatse disaster rebuilding project and as a company that cares about the environment, we support the Ghana Wildlife Society and other sustainable programs such as the National Tree planting agenda by government.”

Mr Gallini urged the beneficiaries to patronise the quality of Ghacem cement products.

“When you buy Ghacem, you do not only buy the product but a commitment to see development in infrastructure and safety towards people and the environment. Be our ambassadors and promote our products,” he noted.

Chairman of the Foundation and Paramount Chief of Assin Kushea, Ehunabobrim Prah Agyensaim VI, urged the beneficiaries to be honest about the application and apply for more cement to serve as good partners of Ghacem to develop Ghana.

Head of the Ghacem Cement Foundation Secretariat, Benny Fiifi Ashun, in an interview announced the opening of the cement application for the year 2022/2023.

He said the secretariat is always humbled to work on the numerous applications it receives every year.

He however lamented the low applications from some regions such as the Upper East and Upper West and urged them to apply more in 2023 to drive the course of developing the whole of Ghana.
