Awake Purified Water, one of the product range of Kasaperko Company Limited, has donated GHS150,000 to the National Cardiothoracic Centre of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.

"Over 83 patients have received support from monies we've given out since 2016, and there are a lot of people actually waiting to receive support from us. So we are here for a very big purpose; to add up to the GHS1.4m.''
