Accra Rehabilitation Centre appeals for more support beyond food donations

The Accra Rehabilitation Centre is seeking further assistance beyond food donations to adequately meet the needs of its inmates. This appeal came after a five-day corporate social responsibility initiative by Melcom Ghana, which provided 1,000 hot meals to five care institutions in Accra through the Melcom Care Foundation. Eric Badudiwoh, an inmate at the centre, expressed his appreciation for the meals but stressed the need for more help, particularly teaching materials, to enable meaningful interactions with visitors.

He urged potential donors to engage directly with the centre to understand its requirements and identify areas where they could contribute. Joseph Kpormegbey, Public Relations Officer of Melcom Ghana, explained that the Melcom Care Foundation was established to honor the late Bhagwan Ramchand Khubchandani's vision of giving back to society.

The foundation aimed to support the centres by providing teaching and building materials, recognizing the challenges faced in operating care facilities. Kpormegbey emphasized that the company's commitment to corporate social responsibility would ensure the necessary support was provided. The five-day initiative, which took place from October 5 to 9, 2026, not only distributed 200 hot meals to each of the five institutions but also highlighted the foundation's dedication to societal welfare.
