In a remarkable act of generosity, the Ekow Assafuah Foundation, in collaboration with JOFEL Catering Services Limited, has provided packed meals for 2,000 inmates at the Kumasi Central Prisons.
The donation, which took place on Thursday, 27th March 2025, is part of ongoing efforts to support the welfare of inmates and improve their living conditions.
Presenting the food items to the prison authorities, Hon. Vincent Ekow Assafuah, Member of Parliament for Tafo Constituency and founder of the Ekow Assafuah Foundation, reaffirmed his foundation’s commitment to supporting the prison community. “For the past ten years, we have been offering support to inmates through various initiatives, including feeding and legal aid. We understand the challenges they face, and we are committed to making a difference,” he stated.
Hon. Assafuah emphasized that given the large number of inmates, it was necessary to partner with JOFEL Catering Services to ensure they received adequate meals.
On her part, Dr. Mrs. Felicia Danquah, Vice President of JOFEL Catering Services Limited, underscored her company’s long-standing dedication to helping the vulnerable in society.
She revealed that since 2008, JOFEL has been providing essential support to the Kumasi Central Prisons, including donations of food and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for cooking, which they supplied for 18 months. “We believe in giving back to society, and supporting the inmates is part of our mission to uplift the less privileged,” Dr. Danquah noted.
Prison officials expressed their gratitude for the donation, describing it as a timely intervention that would go a long way in easing the burden of feeding the large inmate population.
The initiative is expected to inspire more corporate organizations and individuals to extend similar support to correctional facilities across the country.
