Former GRIDCo boss launches foundation to honour late son

A former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo), William Amuna, has launched a foundation in memory of his son, Andrew Amuna, who passed on in 2021 in a drowning incident.

Known as the Andy Amuna Foundation, it is aimed at making an impact on deprived communities by embarking on key educational infrastructure and learning support projects.

Mr Amuna said the family honoured his son’s memory with the foundation to help young people because he was passionate about the welfare of others, particularly children.

Therefore, the foundation, he said, was built on the principles and values of Andy who influenced individuals to embark on initiatives to help alleviate the pains of the destitute in some communities in the country.
