One of them is Karpowership.
Presenting the cheque on behalf of the company Friday, Corporate Communications Specialist, Sandra Amarquaye, said that Karpowership Ghana as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility projects decided to contribute to the Fund.
"We are about people so it was easy to support government in catering for people whose lives would be negatively impacted by the COVID19 pandemic," she. said.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the President, the Chief of Staff, Akosua Frema Osei Opare, thanked Karpowership Ghana for its timely contribution.
She said it would allow government to continually be ahead of the virus and not to chase it.
Madam Osei Opare is optimistic such donations will enable government to quickly bring the curve of Covid-19 infections down.
She implored other companies to emulate their gesture of pivotal support.
