Accra, Mar 10, GNA – Dr Daniel McKorley, Chairman of the McDan Group of Companies, demonstrated his commitment to giving back to society through the McDan Foundation.

This time, he presented food items to thousands of widows in Accra, in collaboration with RIDNE Food Consortium of Ukraine.

The donation, which included cartons of assorted food items such as wheat flour, canned turkey meat, and rice, was presented to the beneficiaries at Mantse Agboena, James Town in Accra.

Dr McKorley expressed his satisfaction at being able to put smiles on the faces of the less privileged in society.

“My heart always gets gladdened when I see the poor very excited, and you know where I come from and where I stand in this country when it comes to giving back to Mother Ghana and to the various communities,” Dr McKorley stated.

The McDan Group has been engaged in Corporate Social Responsibility for the past 20 years, and this donation is part of their ongoing efforts.

Dr McKorley noted that “Life is difficult, the system is difficult, and the economy is difficult, and widows are one forgotten people in this country, so if you asked me, I am very excited to celebrate the whole day with them.”

The Commercial Director of RIDNE Food Consortium, Mr Sergii Kovalchuk, expressed his outfit’s commitment to supporting vulnerable communities in Ghana and Ukraine with food items to promote an inclusive society.

He was optimistic about further partnership with the McDan group to combine products from both countries for food production in Ghana.

The beneficiary widows expressed gratitude to McDan and its partners for the support.

The initiative is expected to be extended to other parts of the country soon.

In addition to the food donation, medical officers from VIVA Health and Medical Foundation conducted health screening exercises for the widows and residents of James Town and its environs.

The screening included Body Mass Index checking, malaria testing, and blood pressure checking, among others.

Prescriptions and over-the-counter medications were dispensed freely to those diagnosed with ailments.

This year’s edition of the McDan Widows Support Project coincided with the 2025 edition of the International Women’s Day celebration.
