Akatsi: Winners Co-operative Credit Union Limited (WINCCU) has reaffirmed its commitment to community development with a series of corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives aimed at supporting education, security, sanitation, and other public institutions within its operational areas.
According to Ghana News Agency, the initiatives were announced at the Union's 13th Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Akatsi. These initiatives form part of WINCCU's 2026 strategic priorities and underscore its dedication to creating lasting value beyond the provision of financial services. Mr. Samuel K. Avevor, Chairman of the Board of Directors of WINCCU, emphasized that the Union has consistently invested in the welfare of communities and institutions within its catchment areas, aligning with the cooperative principle of social responsibility.
During the 2025 financial year, the Union supported the Akatsi South Municipal Directorate of the Ghana Education Service during its Annual Kiddie and Cultural Festival. It also provided financial and material assistance to individuals, communities, and institutions. Mr. Avevor announced that the Board had earmarked several community projects for implementation in 2026 to enhance security, education, and sanitation in the municipality.
As part of these efforts, the Union will donate two new motorbikes to the Akatsi District Police Command to strengthen security patrols and support crime prevention efforts. Additionally, WINCCU will donate 200 bags of cement and two truckloads of double-axle tipper chippings to the Akatsi College of Education to aid in constructing a modern toilet facility for staff. The Credit Union also plans to assist the Anyidzime Community in rehabilitating or replacing its public Kumasi Ventilated Improved Pit (KVIP) facility to improve environmental sanitation and public health.
Mr. Avevor stated that WINCCU would continue to support essential public service institutions within its operational areas, subject to available resources. He noted that the CSR interventions reflect the Union's commitment to improving the socio-economic well-being of residents and complementing government efforts towards sustainable community development.
Expressing gratitude to members, staff, development partners, and other stakeholders for their continued support, Mr. Avevor assured that the Union would remain committed to balancing financial growth with meaningful investments in the communities it serves.
