The Executive Chairman of the Jospong Group of Companies, Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyepong, and his wife, Dr. Mrs. Adelaide Siaw Agyepong, provided essential food items and transportation cash to over 5,000 Ghanaians at their Accra residence on New Year’s Day (January 1, 2026), continuing a decade-long tradition of festive season support.
Over 5,000 Ghanaians from far and near gathered at the couple’s Accra residence to receive essential food items and drinks.
In a notable and practical addition to this annual gesture, the Agyepongs also provided cash gifts for transportation, directly assisting beneficiaries with their travel costs and further easing the financial burdens of the season.
Speaking to the media after the donation, the Public Relations Manager of Zoomlion Ghana Limited, Ernest Morgan Acquah, provided details on the longstanding initiative.
“As the New Year begins, the Executive Chairman of the Jospong Group of Companies continues his long-standing tradition of giving back to the community,” he stated. “Usually on New Year’s Eve, we receive people from within the community and even beyond. People come from Kasoa, Madina, and other surrounding enclaves. When they arrive, the Executive Chairman extends a kind gesture by presenting them with New Year gifts.”
Mr. Acquah confirmed the scale of this year’s outreach, noting, “We are looking at more than 5,000 people. The initial phase covered about 4,500 individuals, but we later expanded the exercise, bringing the total number of beneficiaries to over 5,000.”
He detailed the contents of each package, which included: tin tomatoes, one litre of cooking oil, 5 kilograms of rice, Mackerel, a soft drink, and some cash to cover transportation
Explaining the motivation behind the event, Acquah said, “This initiative is his way of saying thank you to the people and wishing everyone a Happy New Year… This act of giving is rooted in biblical principles—when you have, you should extend a hand to those who do not.”
The PR Manager highlighted the growth of the program, revealing it has run for “about eight to ten years now,” with beneficiary numbers increasing from approximately 4,500 last year to over 5,000 this year.
The event underscored the business leaders’ deep-seated commitment to community support and shared prosperity, ensuring many started the new year with both nourishment and a tangible show of care.
