The Ashanti regional capital Kumasi has been in lockdown for the past two weeks, which has put pressure on civil society and individuals to help feed the less privileged ones in these lockdown areas.
Kasim Nuhu has joined other Ghanaian football players such as Andre Ayew, Asamoah Gyan, Jonathan Mensa, Samuel Owusu, Mathew Anim Cudjoe, etc who have donated food items and health product to the community.
Kasim is currently in Germany made the donation through his local manager Alhassan Seidu. Some of the food items donated included rice, oil, water, tin tomatoes, sardines and hand sanitizers.
With 250 bags of rice for distribution, every household in his local area, Anomagye where Kassim was born had a fair share of the distribution.
Some of the items were sent to Offinso where he had many of his relative residing with Suame and Aboabo also getting their fair share of the items.
Kassim also gave some boxes of hand sanitizers, bags of rice and some other items to the Regional Football Association in Kumasi to assist them in the fight against COVID-19.
Speaking to footballmadeinghana.com after the distribution of the items on Monday, Alhassan Seidu said the Kassim Adam Foundation was touched by the challenging times that many people find themselves, hence their gesture.
“We’re in a challenging moment and it calls for such drastic actions. We can’t feed everyone but we can do something for some people,” he told Football Made in Ghana
“We couldn’t give everyone so we just targeted some areas like Suame, Anomagye, Offinso and Aboabo. These are areas where Kassim spent some time while he was young.
“We believe the little we have provided can help alleviate the hardship we’re currently facing. May God help us in this fight,” he added.
