Health and educational Institutions in the Northern part of the country have received a total of 9,850 bags of Cement from Ghacem Ltd. as part of its flagship corporate social responsibility program ‘the Ghacem Cement Foundation’ (GCF).

The Ghacem Cement Foundation was set up in 2002 to assist in the infrastructural development of health and educational institutions in deprived communities of the country.

The foundation annually gives free cement bags to institutions across the country grouped into Southern and Northern belts as a support package for the institutions which are currently undertaking various infrastructural projects.

The foundation has since its inception given a total of 700,000 bags valued at GH₵54 million to these deprived communities across the country.

Welcoming guests, the Commercial Director of Ghacem, Kwasi Kyere who spoke on behalf of management said Ghacem sees the beneficiary institutions as partners in progress. “We hope that the cement you receive will be transformed into structures that stand as symbols of hope, resilience, and progress for generations to come. Your efforts in utilizing these resources effectively will be crucial in shaping the future of your communities.

Ghacem, he assured is committed to continuing this journey of support and development.

“We will keep listening to your needs, innovating, and finding ways to make a positive impact. Our mission is to ensure that every bag of cement we donate contributes to a stronger, better, and more sustainable Ghana”.

On his part, Ehunabobrim Prah Agyensaim VI, Chairman of the GHACEM Cement Foundation on behalf of the Board and Management of Ghacem Ltd. assured of its commitment to supporting the health and educational infrastructure of the country and therefore implored all stakeholders from the 2 beneficiaries sectors to partner the company by bringing genuine applications to benefit from the free cement.

Ehunabobrim Prah Agyensaim VI therefore implored beneficiaries, past and present to use the Ghacem cement products always as they also contribute to the success of the Ghacem Cement Foundation.

Mr. Frank Antwi Agyapong, Head of the Ghacem Cement Foundation Secretariat who doubles as the Lead, Marketing & PR of Ghacem in an interview reported that the secretariat has had a good year with the applications except for the low turnout and suspected fraudulent applications that keep coming from the Northern Regions.

“We expect more applications for 2025/2026 going forward especially those from the North for us to be allocated more bags to boost development in the country”.
