In a spirit of solidarity and kindness, AngloGold Ashanti Obuasi Mine has donated assorted items to marginalized groups and individuals in Obuasi to mark this year’s Valentine’s Day celebration.
The beneficiaries included widows, inmates of the Obuasi Local Prisons, as well as inmates of Abdullam and Patmos orphanages.
The items donated included bags of rice, maize, sugar, tinned tomatoes, chocolate Milo, eggs, milk powder, drinks, bathing soap, toilet rolls, and other essential supplies.
The donation formed part of the Mine’s commitment to corporate social responsibility and its 10-year Socio-economic Development Plan, which prioritizes support for marginalized groups within its host communities.
Mr. Edmund Oduro, Community Relations Manager, speaking at the presentation, highlighted the Mine’s dedication to supporting and empowering vulnerable groups in society.
He emphasized that in a season marked by love, compassion, and generosity, the Mine remained intentional about extending care and meaningful support to those most in need.
The initiative followed a similar intervention in December last year, when the Mine donated assistive devices to Persons Living with Disabilities in Obuasi to enhance their mobility and inclusion.
According to Mr. Oduro, the gesture underscored the Mine’s unwavering commitment to its purpose of mining to empower people and advance societies, reflecting its broader vision of sustainable and inclusive community development.
Beneficiaries expressed heartfelt appreciation to the company for the timely gesture describing it as a demonstration of genuine care and solidarity.
Through such initiatives, AngloGold Ashanti Obuasi Mine continues to reaffirm its commitment to community development and strengthening relationships with its host communities.
