“Through this event, we will celebrate the power of philanthropy — we will celebrate those who have chosen to give back to their community, who have invested their time, resources, and energy into causes that matter. Whether it’s through education, healthcare, social justice or empowering marginalised groups” he stated.
“The celebrities we will honour at this event have demonstrated that true greatness is measured not by what you achieve for yourself but for what you do for others. The Ghana Celebrity Impact Awards will serve as a reminder that even in the phase of adversity, there are those who are committed to making a positive difference, those who are willing to use their influence to create a better world for all of us,” he reiterated.
