Citi FM and Channel One TV have reaffirmed their commitment to supporting vulnerable children with the donation of GHC50,000 and a range of essential supplies to the Baptist School Complex and Orphanage (BASCO) in Trotor, near Suhum in the Eastern Region.
The gesture forms part of the media house’s annual Easter Orphan Project, which aims to bring hope and support to orphans and underprivileged children across Ghana.
Staff from both stations visited the facility to present the donation and spend time interacting with the children and their caretakers.
Among the items donated were bags of rice, cooking oil, toiletries, clothing, drinks, learning materials, and other foodstuffs to support the day-to-day needs of the children.
The GHC50,000 is expected to contribute to the upkeep of the orphanage and the educational development of the students.
Speaking during the presentation on Monday, April 21, General Manager of Citi FM and Channel One TV, Bernard Avle, expressed gratitude to the stations’ listeners, viewers, and sponsors for their generous contributions to this year’s project.
He emphasized the importance of giving back to society and urged individuals and organizations to extend similar support to orphanages and other vulnerable groups.
The management of BASCO expressed deep appreciation for the donation, describing it as a timely intervention that would significantly improve the welfare of the children.
Over the years, the Easter Orphan Project has become a flagship CSR initiative for Citi FM and Channel One TV, positively impacting the lives of hundreds of children across the country.
