…as it climaxes 19th anniversary
StarLife Assurance has made a presentation of assorted items and a cheque to the Senior Correctional Centre of the Ghana Prisons Service in Accra, as part of activities climaxing it’s 19th anniversary celebration.
The items donated include bags of rice, bags of beans, gallons of oil, provisions, drinks, cleaning detergents, towels, a printer, hygiene products and stationary, among others.
StarLife also presented a cheque for GH¢10,000 to the centre.
The 250 capacity all-boys Senior Correctional Centre was established in 1947 and is the only facility in the entire country for boys in their mid to late teens who have been processed through the criminal justice system but do not qualify for adult prison on account of their age.
Presenting the items, the Head of Brand and Communications of StarLife Assurance, Mercy Simpson, stated: “We are deeply honoured to be able to make a meaningful contribution to the Senior Correctional Centre. As we celebrate 19 years of growth and success, we are reminded of our responsibility to make a positive impact in the communities where we operate. The young individuals at this centre represent a bright future, and we hope that our support helps them as they transition into society with the tools they need to succeed”.
In addition to supporting the Senior Correctional Centre, StarLife also donated medical supplies to the infirmaries of the Ghana Prisons Service in Kumasi, Tamale, Sekondi and Ho. The support aims to bring comfort and dignity to the inmates who reside at the various facilities.
Assistant Director of Prisons (ADP) Millicent Owusu, Officer in Charge of the Senior Correctional Centre, said: “We are very grateful to StarLife Assurance for their massive show of love and empathy to the boys in this centre. Support from companies like you keeps this home running and gives hope to these boys”.
She assured StarLife that not only would the items be used for the maximum benefit of the boys, but they would always remember the love shown to them.
