Melcom serves 1,000 meals to children in selected orphanage homes

Melcom Ghana is providing meals to children in selected orphanage homes across Accra as part of a week-long initiative to support local institutions caring for children. The company has chosen five institutions for the gesture, which it describes as a part of its corporate social responsibility activities. The initiative aims to remind beneficiary institutions and the children in their care that they are cared for and not alone.

The participating homes include Blissful Children’s Home and the Accra Rehabilitation Centre, with the meals being distributed in five locations from Osu to Teshie. Joseph Kpormegbey, the Public Relations Officer for Melcom Ghana, explained that the decision to target orphanage homes was deliberate, following other donations made by the company throughout the year.

He emphasized that the initiative is not a one-off act, indicating that Melcom Ghana plans to continue supporting the beneficiary institutions when resources permit. Kpormegbey added that the company wants the institutions to know that they are constantly in their thoughts, and that this is not the first time Melcom Ghana has come to their aid.

The meal distribution will continue throughout the week, with the programme expected to reach its peak at the Accra Rehabilitation Centre. The initiative is not only about providing meals, but also about showing that the children and institutions are remembered and supported.
