The gesture which is the fourth, caters for the first quarter period of 2017 following a commitment to donate GH¢0.01 and GH¢0.02 made on each sale of Awake Water to support heart patients at the Cardio centre periodically.

Making the donation at the Centre, the Director of Water and Soft Drinks at Kasapreko Company Limited, Mrs Eunice Adjei Bonsu said Awake Water is gradually becoming a household name in Ghana and because of the #One4Life partnership with the Cardio Centre Awake Water is now among the top three water producers in Ghana.

“This is because of the trust and support consumers give to the Awake brand and the believe in the #One4Life initiative which supports persons with heart defects,” Mrs Bonsu said at the donation ceremony held May 26, 2017 in Accra.

She said so far more than 20 persons have benefitted from the initiative and “so just imagine how much more people we can save if we all support this project”.

Mrs Bonsu revealed that the company has decided to support beneficiaries even after they undergo surgery. “We have set up a team that will be visiting the homes of beneficiary persons and supply them with free packs of water each month and also help them in other diverse ways.”

Director of the Cardio Centre, Dr. Lawrence Sereboe who received the donation commended the management of Awake Water for helping the centre in a more sustainable way.

Dr. Sereboe observed that people have come to appreciate the fact that the steps that have been taken by Kasapreko Company through the Awake Water #One4Life initiative to support the Cardio Centre is a worthy course.

According to the Cardio Director, the management of the centre will continue to use the donation from Awake Water to take care of the needs of heart patients.

The company has this year made a total cash donation of GHc120,000 to the Cardio Centre to support economically disadvantage patients who cannot afford medical care for heart transplants, heart surgeries, and any other forms of heart disease.

Presenting the cheque to officials of the Centre at a short ceremony held on Friday, Mr Benjamin Owusu, a Lead Distributor of Awake Water said “We are making a cash donation of GHc70,000, the biggest so far of our donations. This amount coupled with our previous cash donations will amount to GHc120,000 for only this year, fulfilling our promise of making GHc100,000 donation to the Cardio Centre annually”.

People are diagnosed with some type of heart disease every 15 minutes and sadly many die every day.

According to Mr Owusu, Awake Water empathizes with “these patients, especially the children that is why we introduced the ONE4LIFE charity initiative, where profits from selling Awake Water, will be donated to the National Cardio Center. This will go a long way in helping the Center increase their assistant to patients who cannot afford to pay their medical bills.”

Receiving the donation, Dr Lawrence Sereboe, the Director of the National Cardio Centre thanked the management of Kasapreko for the donation and assured that “every donation received is accounted for”.

Dr Sereboe said so far six heart patients have benefited from the Awake Water initiative adding that their surgeries cost thousands of Ghana cedis.

Founder of Kasapreko Company, Dr Kwabena Adjei also gave the Centre a cheque of GHc10,000 which was the last tranche of the GHc60,000 pledge for the Centre within a period of six months.
