Five Island communities and schools in Ada in the greater Accra region have benefited from assorted items worth 50 thousand dollars from Promasidor Ghana Limited, manufacturers of cowbell products.
The donation forms part of the company’s corporate social responsibilities.

Mr Laeremans who has also been installed as a sub-chief of the Kudzragbe Clan of Ada noted that the company over the years decided to provide the people of Ada with the right tools and materials to ensure every single school going child gets the right type of education before attaining the age of 18.
He said the over two thousand people living on the five main Islands are deprived and lack many basic amenities hence their support.
“We have chosen the five Island communities of Ada because they lack a lot of social amenities which needs support. These Islands are mainly fishing communities and most of the children on the Islands are out of school because they lack the basic social amenities which is the reason we have decided to help them with the basics over the years.”
