Executive Women Network support the vulnerable and health centers in COVID-19 fight
The Executive Women Network (EWN), has donated personal protective equipment, essential medical supplies and relief items to health facilities and vulnerable communities in the Greater Accra and the Upper East Regions.
The initiative is part of the Network’s contribution to the fight against the novel COVID-19.
The non-profit organisation has a membership of women in senior management and executive positions in Ghana.
In Accra, the Network donated food items, veronica buckets and detergents to vulnerable families within the Chorkor community. The group used the opportunity to educate community members on measures, including how to protect themselves against the virus.
The group also donated to the Kwabenya District Hospital, which serves as one of the treatment and isolation centres for COVID-19. The facility received detergents, hand sanitisers and toiletries. EWN also catered for and provided meals to the frontline health workers for three weeks to celebrate their amazing work at a time the country is battling coronavirus.
In the Upper East Region, the Network donated Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and veronica buckets to the Talensi District Hospital, Bongo District Hospital, Bolgatanga Regional Hospital, Zuarungu Health Centre and the Coronation Health Centre.
Presenting the items, the Office Manager of EWN, Wendy Nunoo, said the donation formed part of the Network’s core vision to alleviate the plight of the underprivileged, vulnerable women and children, especially in difficult times such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We are aware of the damaging effect the global pandemic has and continues to have on communities, businesses and the global economy. At a time like this, the impact on vulnerable communities, women and children cannot be overemphasised.
“To win the fight against the pandemic, we all need to stand together and pitch in to support the most vulnerable in our communities. These donations are in line with our commitment to support and empower vulnerable communities”.
