The KGL Foundation’s commitment to social responsibility and community welfare continues to make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by the floods. Their swift and comprehensive response reflects a dedication to standing by the people of Keta during their time of need.
Medical professionals and volunteers worked tirelessly to ensure that individuals received the necessary medical attention and care. The team conducted comprehensive health screenings to identify health issues among flood victims.
Understanding the critical need for blood donations, especially in times of emergency, the KGL Foundation organized a blood donation drive. The response from the community was overwhelming, with many individuals stepping forward to donate blood to replenish local supplies.
