Thank you Nkulenu for the food donation!

We want to thank Nkulenu industries for the donation of 500 kenkey balls to our #covidrelief food bank program. For the past years we have been able to provide 2 meals to our children and when schools were shut down ; Everything had to stop. We got permits to reopen and now we serve one hot meal and are able to send our children home with a food box on fridays. #nkulenu supported this initiative and we are grateful as we were able to feed 100 seniors as well. A little history of this Ghanaian owned company. Nkulenu Industries Ltd, is a leading food processing company in Ghana. It was established in 1942 by Dr. Mrs. Esther Ocloo (Nee Nkulenu) to create employment for herself, because after leaving Achimota College, there was no job opening due to the aftermath of the Second World War. Ms. Esther Nkulenu invested a sum of six out of ten shillings pocket money given to her by an Aunt; the Late Miss. Josephine Nkulenu (Mrs. Mensah) into oranges, sugar, firewood and used jam jars, to produce twelve jars of marmalade. In pricing the marmalade, she decided on a 100 percent markup, and sold a jar at one shilling. She had no difficulty in selling her marmalade thereof due to the shortage created by the war.
This encouraged her to add orange squash under the brand name “NKULENU” which has survived to date. The successes of the venture enabled her to save money and proceeded to the United Kingdom where she was admitted to the Bristol University, where she studied food preservation and processing techniques. #stopthespread #chorkor
