Obuasi: Dr Collins Amo, Chief Executive Officer of 'Aduro Ye Herbal Centre', producers of Obuasi Bitters, has demonstrated his continued commitment to social responsibility by donating essential items to widows and less privileged persons in Obuasi.

According to Ghana News Agency, the donation exercise, which also featured free feeding, brought together over 1,000 widows and vulnerable individuals, creating a vibrant and meaningful atmosphere. Each beneficiary received six yards of cloth, a live chicken, and five kilograms of rice, aimed at easing their burden and supporting them ahead of the Christmas festivities.

Addressing participants at the event, Dr. Amo described the initiative as a fulfilling way of giving back to society, particularly to the needy and vulnerable during the festive season. He noted that the gesture was intended to restore hope and put smiles on the faces of beneficiaries through practical and timely support.

Dr. Amo also encouraged the beneficiaries to adopt sound post-retirement planning, including savings to supplement pension income. He further appealed to government to consider reviewing and increasing SSNIT pension, citing current economic challenges that had heightened the vulnerability of retirees.

"As a company, we are committed to investing in our communities through meaningful corporate social responsibility initiatives. We are not only focused on profits but are equally dedicated to giving back to society," he emphasized.

Beneficiaries expressed heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Amo, describing the donation as timely and impactful. "Some of us struggle daily because of our circumstances, but Dr. Amo has always come through for us. We are truly grateful for his continued support," said Madam Grace Anokyewaa, a beneficiary.
