Businesses and entrepreneurs have been urged to invest in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects as a way of empowering communities that support their operations.

According to entrepreneur Nyamedze Demay, fostering CSR is critical to achieving the vision of creating a middle-income economy by 2030.

Speaking to Joy Business after donating some items to the Nyamedua Children Home, she said organisations should be partners in nation-building, adding, the CSR activities of organisations must move in tandem with some of the development needs of the government and add up to the socioeconomic progress in health, education, sports, and environmental issues.

“If such projects are aligned and developed coherently, they could relieve the government of some burdens of having to fix everything everywhere in the country with the proceeds from the meager resources."

"When we sow our seeds It may lead to some of the projects that directly impact the lives of the people and promote their livelihood to be fixed with the support of Corporate Ghana through their CSR funds”, she said.

She also added there is a need to support young people to acquire some key skills to bridge the industry-academia gap.

Nyamedze Demay highlighted how beneficial CSR work had helped improve her operations over the years.

She urged entrepreneurs to take advantage of CSRs to expand operations

"It is good to give back to society because when we do that we realise that it affects our operations positively".

"Our entrepreneurs can do more of this to boost productivity. There are so many opportunities out there", she pointed out.

Nyamedze Demay held a party as part of her 60 birthday anniversary with the children of the Nyamedua Children Home at Nana Krom in the Greater Accra region to showcase her love for humanity.
