Following Beiersdorf Ghana’s donation of 1.7million Ghana Cedis (€250,000) in October to Food For All Africa (FFAA), an additional Food Van has been purchased to make more food available to vulnerable members of the community.
Human Resource Manager of Beiersdorf Ghana who delivered the opening remarks on behalf of the Country Manager, Olivier Bodson, acknowledged the purchase of the food van and commended FFAA for putting the donation to good use.
She pointed out that with this increase in transport capacity, FFAA would be able to distribute much needed nutritional support to communities in rural areas that had previously been difficult to access, increase the number of hot meals served to beneficiaries on a weekly basis and facilitate culinary training for mothers and vulnerable youth within rural areas.
Founder & Executive Director of FFAA, Mr. Elijah Amoo Addo revealed that since Beiersdorf’s donation, Food For All Africa has been able to embark on a number of initiatives including, carrying out an assessment on its School Feeding programme, Mobile FoodBank kitchen, and Culinary training for mothers and vulnerable youths.
It also re-designed its programmes in adherence to COVID-19 safety guidelines, including increasing its programmes and activities in the Eastern, Central, Ashanti and Volta regions of Ghana, among a host of other initiatives.
Mr. Amoo Addo seized the opportunity to thank Beiersdorf Ghana once again for the donation and expressed his commitment to utilizing the donation funds responsibly.
“The Mobile FoodBank kitchen van would ensure Food for All Africa reaches additional number of beneficiaries: 120,000 less fortunate people, 25 schools, 132 communities, and 392 charities,” Mr. Amoo Addo said.
