The China International Water and Electric Corporation has presented a cheque for GH¢800,000 to the COVID-19 National Trust Fund to support its activities.

Officials of the company, led by Mr Du Honglai, the Project Manager, were at the Jubilee House last Monday to present the cheque, which was received by the Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of the fund, Justice Sophia Akuffo.

Mr Du said it was an honour for the company to be part of Ghana’s efforts at containing the spread of the virus.

Company concerned

He said the company was concerned about the current situation of the disease in Ghana and other parts of the world.

“The current situation in Ghana and across the world is of grave concern and needs support from everyone of us,” he said.

 “In this difficult period, we of the China International Water and Electric Corporation stand together with Ghanaians and will try our best to help Ghanaians win the fight against the COVID-19 to strengthen Sino-Ghana relations,” he added.

He indicated that the initiatives put in place by the government of Ghana to contain the spread of the virus were worth commending.

“I sincerely hope that with all our efforts, we can combat the virus quickly and get our peaceful and lovely Ghana back on track,” he said.

Support

Mr Du said the company had established a strong presence in Ghana’s development efforts, adding: “We have completed quite many projects in Ghana, most of which are in rural electrification and roads.”

According to him, the success story of China International Water and Electric Corporation in Ghana could not have been possible without the support of the government and the people of Ghana.

Appreciation

Justice Akuffo expressed appreciation to the company for the donation and called for continued support from corporate institutions and individuals, so that the fund could extend its reach.
