“Bel-Aqua is grateful to the people of Ghana for their continued support over the years, and cannot abandon them when they need us the most. This is certainly not the time to hold back the cash, when people’s lives are under threat by Covid-19”, the Head of Communications for Bel-Aqua, Emmanuel Quist Said.

The delegation from Bel-Aqua comprising directors of the company, Dhiraj and Manoj Lakhiani, Head of Marketing Raj Mirpuri, and Head of Corporate Communications, Emmanuel Quist, also expressed concern for the socially vulnerable whose livelihoods are currently being affected by the ramifications of COVID-19.

“More importantly, we are making this cash donation of GHS500,000 as a contribution to government’s social intervention plans to alleviate the difficulties posed by Covid-19 on Ghanaians living below the poverty line, who’s livelihoods depend on their daily economic activities,” Mr Quist stressed.

On the part of government, Honorable Frema Opare, Chief of Staff expressed government’s gratitude to Bel-Aqua for the laudable contribution to the Covid-19 Trust Fund. And also recognized the economic and social contributions the company has made continually to the development of Ghana.
