ECG Power Queens Champion Inclusion with Dual-Focus Donation in Offinso
In a powerful display of corporate social responsibility, the Ashanti West Power Queens’ Club of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has delivered a significant donation to the Physically Challenged Action Foundation in Offinso, seamlessly linking support for students with disabilities with the ongoing global fight against breast cancer.
Bridging Causes: Disability Support and Health Awareness
The donation event, held on Friday, October 31, 2025, served a dual purpose. While the primary beneficiaries were students with physical disabilities, the initiative was strategically timed as a concluding activity for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Club members, adorned in pink, used their presence to show solidarity with the global health campaign, demonstrating how corporate outreach can address multiple community needs simultaneously.
Sustaining Independence: A Foundation’s Legacy
The recipient organization, the Physically Challenged Action Foundation, brings over half a century of experience to its mission. For more than 50 years, this NGO has focused on mobilizing, rehabilitating, and training individuals with physical disabilities across Ghana, empowering them to lead independent and self-sufficient lives. The donation arrives as critical support for this long-standing work.
Strategic Corporate Citizenship in Action
Rita Adjei, President of the Ashanti West Power Queens’ Club, framed the initiative as a core component of the club’s corporate social responsibility mandate, specifically aimed at improving welfare in underprivileged communities. This perspective was echoed by Offinso District Manager Mrs. Ruth Boatemaa Boateng, who emphasized that ECG’s commitment extends beyond its primary role of providing electricity to making tangible, positive impacts within its operational areas.
A Model for Corporate Engagement
The Chief Executive of the foundation, Barimah Antwi, expressed profound gratitude for the support while issuing a compelling call to action. His appeal for other corporate organizations to emulate the Power Queens’ example highlights a critical gap in sustained corporate support for disability initiatives in Ghana and positions this donation as a potential catalyst for broader corporate engagement.
The Ripple Effect of Targeted Giving
This donation transcends mere charity. The items provided—including essential mobility aids like wheelchairs, daily necessities such as food and sanitary pads, and financial support—directly address both immediate needs and long-term independence for students with disabilities. By aligning with a major health awareness campaign, the Power Queens have amplified their message, demonstrating how targeted corporate philanthropy can create multifaceted community benefits.
