LATEX Foam Company Limited, Ghana has donated 30 pieces of mattresses which cost GH¢1,500 in support of the 'Pamela Bridgewater Children's Home Project' in Accra.
Making the presentation, the Public Relations Officer of the company Mr Isaac Fenning, said the donation was made in line with the company's social responsibility, stressing that the company was determined to support the project.
"We see the situation of our sisters on the streets as a disturbing factor that’s why we are making efforts to put smiles on their faces", he said.
The Project Director of 'Pamela Bridgewater Project', Mr Yahaya Alhassan, who received the items expressed gratitude to the company for their kind gesture and also appealed to other companies, organisations and individuals to emulate the example.
He indicated that Latex foam was the 8th Private company to have supported the project since its establishment two years ago.
The ‘Pamela Bridgewater Children’s Home Village Project’ was established by the former United States Ambassador to Ghana, Pamela Bridgewater in collaboration with a non-governmental organisation, the Kunata International Organisation, to assist female porters (kayayei).
Under the 10-year project, which commenced in 2008, a school complex is to be set up in the Northern Region to offer skills training to young girls to empower them economically.
It also seeks to support girl child education in the northern part of the country.
