Accra, February 2022:

The Mohinani Group, through its premier water storage brand- Polytank, has donated tanks worth over GHC 32,000 to the Apiate Community to help provide the residents with clean drinking water. The timely gesture is in response to a national call by the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) to assist the victims with Polytanks to enable them get access to portable water following the explosion that occurred in the community two weeks ago.

The full trailer load of Polytanks were made up of four pieces of 10,000 litre tanks popularly known as Rambo 1,000 and six pieces of 2,500 litre Sumo tank capacities. The donation which was made to NADMO on behalf of the community formed part of the Group’s corporate social responsibility to ensure that all vulnerable and marginalized Ghanaians are provided with access to clean drinking safe water especially in times of severe national disasters.

In a statement, Mr. Ashok Mohinani, the Executive Director of the Mohinani Group, expressed heartfelt condolences to the families of the fatalities of the disaster. Mr. Ashok also wished the speedy recovery to those injured and prayed for the total healing for all the affected within the community. He emphasised that, as a brand, Polytank truly cares about the wellbeing of Ghanaians especially in improving access to safe drinking water.

Mr. Ashok expressed Polytank Ghana’s commitment to help in rebuilding the Apiate community saying “our donation today is a testament of our brand’s promise to help alleviate the effects of the aftermath of the explosion”.
