The 2023/24 batch of National Service Personnel (NSP) from the Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) last Friday handed over a renovated fashion centre, washroom facilities and office space at the Accra Rehabilitation Centre at Adabraka, a suburb of Accra, to the management of GRIDCo.
With support from GRIDCo management, the NSP raised about GH¢100,000 for the project.
The initiative is part of GRIDCo’s sustainable corporate social responsibility strategy, and it underscores the commitment of GRIDCo’s NSP to support local communities.
The project involved a comprehensive renovation of the centre’s fashion centre, which has been re-equipped with three industrial and 10 manual sewing machines, including the renovation of four-unit washroom facility for improved sanitation and renovation of office space for administrators of the centre.
The support will boost vocational training opportunities for the student beneficiaries, while significantly improving the environment for both staff and students.
The GRIDCo 2023/24 NSP were able to successfully undertake this project through their self-imposed monthly contributions and with additional support from the management of GRIDCo.
Miss Rosabeth Akiwele Avio, President of the 2023/24 GRIDCo NSP, stated: “We are proud to contribute to the improved well-being of the Accra Rehabilitation Centre. This project reflects GRIDCo’s dedication to community service and the importance of empowering individuals through skills development.”
“As we hand over the renovated facilities and the new tailoring equipment today, let us remember that this is just the beginning. Together, we are providing not just resources but also hope and opportunity for those at the centre.”
This initiative continues a tradition of community support by GRIDCo NSP, who have consistently worked to uplift underserved areas.
Ms. Florence Agyei, Director of Human Resources, expressed her appreciation, saying: “On behalf of the management and staff of GRIDCo, I commend our NSP for their outstanding efforts in enhancing the lives of those in our communities.
Your actions exemplify GRIDCo’s core value of CARE, and we encourage you to carry this spirit forward in all your future endeavours.” The role of the centre is to rehabilitate persons living with disabilities.
In a comment, Mr. Seth Dzidzornu said: “We are, indeed, grateful to the management of GRIDCo and the 2023/2024 NSP for this generous gesture which will not only benefit the institution but also positively transform individual lives.”
He also commended GRIDCo for nurturing the NSP and instilling in them a strong sense of giving back to society.
The NSP appreciated the contribution of the Chief Executive Officer of Ghana Grid Company, Ing. Ebenezer Kofi Essienyi, and Madam Ruth Abanga, CSR Officer for GRIDCo, with a citation for their commitment to the cause of service personnel.
GRIDCo remains committed to delivering Ghana’s power transmission needs, while actively supporting the communities it serves
