As part of its commitment to develop sports in Ghana, Betway, through its ‘Talent Search’ initiative, has donated sports equipment to the Asanteman Amputees Football Club (FC) in Mbrom and another set of items to the Ejisu community.

This charitable donation came about due to the wide-ranging efforts of the current iteration of the Betway ‘Talent Search’ taking place in the northern region. It allowed Betway to identify sporting communities in need in the area. The Asanteman Amputees FC stood out as a fantastic community initiative, well-deserving of the help Betway could provide.

The items, which include jerseys, training bibs, cones, goal post nets, goal keeper’s gloves and cones, are intended to help provide a resource and strengthen the local community teams.

Speaking at the handover ceremony, the Country Manager (Operations) of Betway Ghana, Magnus Rex Danquah Jnr., stated that Betway values the need to empower people, and these provisions aimed at improving the development of sports within local communities would go a long way in achieving this goal.

He said, “We believe that charity begins at home, so wherever we go we ensure that the communities feel our impact.”

Receiving the items on behalf of the Asanteman Amputees FC, Benjamin Annor, chairman of the Ashanti Regional Amputees Union, thanked Betway for the kind gesture and called on others to help develop amputee football in Ghana.

The Asanteman Amputees FC and the Ejisu community joined Golden Ahafo Deaf Football Club, which also benefitted from the Betway corporate social responsibility drive during the 2018 edition of the Betway ‘Talent Search’.
