In the spirit of love, kindness, and compassion, employees of Vivo Energy Ghana, the exclusive marketer and distributor of Shell-branded fuels and lubricants, have celebrated this year’s Valentine’s Day with women at the Chosen Rehabilitation Centre under its Energizing Hope Campaign.
The Energizing Hope initiative is a cherished tradition where employees come together to share love and support underprivileged communities. For this year, Vivo Energy Ghana focused on making an impact on the lives of women at the Chosen Rehabilitation Centre through donation, skill empowerment, and heartfelt interactions.
Speaking at the event, the Corporate Communications Manager of Vivo Energy Ghana, Shirley Tony Kum, said, “We chose the Chosen Rehabilitation Centre (Women’s Unit) because we deeply admire the incredible work being done at the centre to support women on their journey to recovery. We recognize the challenges that come with overcoming addiction, and we want you to know that Vivo Energy Ghana is with you on this path.
Leading this year’s initiative was the Local Payment and Loyalty Manager of Vivo Energy Ghana, Mercy Etrue, who served as the Inspiro for the event, inspiring the women at the centre with her leadership, encouragement, and commitment.

The visit featured the donation of essential food items and sanitary supplies, ensuring that the women at the center have the necessities to support their recovery. In addition to these donations, a bead craft training session was facilitated to equip the women with practical skills that will aid their self-sufficiency and empowerment.
Vivo Energy Ghana also shared branded chocolates, symbolizing love, care, and support for the women as they work towards a brighter future. The management and staff of the Chosen Rehabilitation Centre also expressed their gratitude for the support, noting the positive impact such initiatives have on the lives of the women at the centre.
