Awake Purified Drinking Water, through its charity project, ONE 4 Life, extended love to people with various cardiovascular diseases on Valentine’s Day by donating GH¢75,000 to the National Cardiothoracic Centre at Korle-bu.
The donation cumulatively sums up all donations made so far from 2016 to a whopping GH¢1 million.
This was done in collaboration with Diana Antwi Hamilton, a gospel musician.
The amount was realised from the patronage of Awake Purified drinking water, every 500ml bottle of which fetched 10p to charity.
Diana Hamilton’s Mo No Yo song (over 3 million YouTube views) was used as tag line for this activity.
She visited patients on remand and in the OPD to share words of encouragement.
Awake Purified Drinking Water has over the years donated to the National Cardiothoracic Centre to financially support the less privileged and disadvantaged who cannot afford medical care heart transplant, heart surgeries, etc.
