Health and educational institutions in the Northern part of the country have received a total of 9,850 bags of Cement from Ghacem Ltd., as part of its flagship corporate social responsibility programme ‘the Ghacem Cement Foundation’ (GCF).

Welcoming guests at the presentation ceremony, the Commercial Director of Ghacem, Mr Kwasi Kyere who spoke on behalf of management, said Ghacem see the beneficiary institutions as partners in progress.
“It is our hope that the cement you receive will be transformed into structures that stand as symbols of hope, resilience, and progress for generations to come. Your efforts in utilising these resources effectively will be crucial in shaping the future of your communities,” he said.
Ghacem, he assured was committed to continuing the journey of support and development adding that “we will keep listening to your needs, innovating, and finding ways to make a positive impact. Our mission is to ensure that every bag of cement we donate contributes to a stronger, better, and more sustainable Ghana.”
For his part, Ehunabobrim Prah Agyensaim VI, Chairman of the Ghacem Cement Foundation on behalf of the Board and Management of Ghacem Ltd. assured of its commitment to supporting health and educational infrastructure of the country and therefore implored all stakeholders from the two beneficiary sectors to partner the company by bringing genuine applications to benefit from the free cement.
Ehunabobrim Prah Agyensaim VI urged beneficiaries, past and present to use the Ghacem cement products always as they also contribute to the success of the Ghacem Cement Foundation.
Mr Frank Antwi Agyapong, Head of the Ghacem Cement Foundation Secretariat who doubles as the Lead, Marketing & PR of Ghacem, in an interview said that the secretariat had had a good year with the applications except for the low turnout and suspected fraudulent applications that kept coming from the Northern Regions.
“We expect more applications for 2025/2026 going forward especially those from the north for us to be allocated more bags to boost development in the country,” he said.
