The 2020 Humanitarian Awards Ghana announced its winners on Saturday, October 3, at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra.

George’s periodic social interventions in deprived communities across the country earned him this prestigious award.

Humanitarian Awards Ghana seeks to recognize and award extraordinary individuals and groups who are positively impacting the lives of people, nature and society in Ghana, organisers say.
“We believe that in putting the spotlight on these humanitarian efforts, it will not only celebrate them but help build a strong platform for them by giving voice and opportunities to the next generation of industry pacesetters while building a positive attitude. We have seen outstanding individuals and companies of trailblazers striving hard with dedication and perseverance by overcoming challenges and economic instability to impact lives and sustain the environment. These are the people or business we want to award.”
