UT assists 3 NGOs

UT Financial Services has donated three cheques totalling GH¢11,000 to three non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the country to enhance their activities.
The recipients are the Kanda-based Hope for Kids Foundation, which caters for brilliant, needy students from junior high school (JHS) to the tertiary level; Family Outreach Ghana, providers of vocational education and medical care for the less privileged in society, and the Light Outreach Foundation, which caters for street children in Tema.
Presenting the cheques, the CEO of UT, Mr Prince Kofi Amoabeng, urged other companies to emulate UT’s efforts to help cater for the less privileged in society.
He added that even though it was the responsibility of the government to cater for those organisations, it was unable to do so as a result of the pressing demands on the budget, hence the need for other companies to assist as part of their social responsibility.
Receiving a cheque of GH¢6,000 on behalf of the Hope for Kids Foundation, the Director of the organisation, Mrs Adai Sai Yamoah, said UT was already supporting 10 of its children in school and was very grateful.
The other organisations, Family Outreach Ghana and Light Outreach Foundation received GH¢3,000 and GH¢2,000 respectively.
The founders of the two organisations jointly expressed their gratitude to UT for its assistance.
