The Ghana Integrated Aluminium Development Corporation (GIADEC) has donated Personal Protective Equipment and hygiene items to Bauxite mining Communities in Western North Region.

The donation forms part of GIADEC’s commitment to complement Government’s effort in the fight against COVID-19.

The Chief Executive Officer of GIADEC Mr. Michael Ansah led the delegation to present the items at Sefwi Awaso in the Bibiani Ahwiaso Bekwai municipality on 7th July 2020.

The items donated to the 8 mining communities and 11 schools include Veronica Buckets, dust bins, buckets, plastic chairs, gallons of hand sanitizers, bundles of large size tissue papers, and gallons of liquid soaps. The rest are liquid dispenser, cartons of life Bouy soap, and branded GIADEC nose masks.

The beneficiary communities are Awaso, Asempaneye, Atronsu, Chirano, Kukunso, Subri, Akaasu, and Adiembra all in the municipality among the other 10 schools.

Addressing the community members at a mini durbar, Mr. Ansah expressed satisfaction with the collaboration between GIADEC and the Sefwi Ahwiaso traditional area so far.

He said, though GIADEC is yet to commence mining and refining of Bauxite in the municipality, it is appropriate for the organization to show solidarity to some communities in the area to ensure all the prescribed COVID-19 protocols are strictly adhered to.

Mr. Ansah added, “GIADEC can’t work in an environment contaminated with Coronavirus hence the need to support the communities to contain the virus from overwhelming the municipality”.
