Kasapreko Plc, the heartbeat of Ghana's beverage industry and producers of Awake Purified Drinking Water, has made a significant commitment to the Cardiothoracic Centre at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital, doubling its funding to GH¢150,000.
This 100% increase from previous donations of GH¢75,000 quarterly demonstrates the brand's dedication to supporting Ghanaians with heart conditions.
The GH¢150,000 donation, made through the "One4Life" charity-driven project, marks the first-quarter payment of 2024.
Since its inception, the "One4Life" campaign has saved hundreds of children with severe heart conditions by setting aside 10 pesewas from the purchase of every 500ml of Awake Purified Drinking Water for donation.
Madam Linda Aidoo, Brands Manager at Kasapreko Company, emphasized the brand's intention to make a greater impact saying "we're grateful for Ghanaians' support of Awake Purified Drinking Water and our 'One4Life' initiative. By increasing our funding, we aim to make a difference in the lives of more Ghanaians, particularly children with heart conditions. We remain committed to this partnership and encourage Ghanaians to continue patronizing our products, knowing that a portion of their purchase supports this vital cause".
Prof. Mark Mawutor Tettey, Acting Executive Director of the Cardiothoracic Centre, expressed his gratitude for the support.
He said; "The cost of providing quality healthcare has risen significantly over time, and corporate Ghana's support is crucial. This generous donation from Awake will go a long way in supporting patients who cannot afford our services, as well as helping us mitigate the financial burden of maintaining and upgrading our facilities."
Renowned Ghanaian gospel musician and Awake Purified Drinking Water brand ambassador, Diana Hamilton, also shared her excitement stating "it's a joy to see the impact of the 'One4Life' project, and we hope to do even more in the future. Thank you to Ghanaians for their continued support of Awake Purified Drinking Water, knowing that their purchases are making a difference in the lives of children with heart conditions".
The "One4Life" initiative has made a tangible difference in the lives of hundreds of children and this increased funding will further support the Cardiothoracic Centre's mission to providing quality care to those in need.
Awake Purified Drinking Water's commitment to giving back to the community is a shining example of Corporate Social Responsibility and we look forward to seeing the continued impact of their generosity.
