Happy Sunshine Limited, a tomato paste manufacturing company, has reaffirmed its commitment to corporate social responsibility through impactful community projects.

According to the company, it donates GH¢1 from every carton sold to support the construction of schools in underserved communities.

The initiative to build a six-unit classroom block began two years ago in the Eastern Region, with the goal of improving access to quality education for children in deprived areas.

Speaking at the 2025 edition of the Africa Best Business Awards (ABBA), a representative from Happy Sunshine said the company has also expanded its product line to offer customers a wider range of choices.

“We have the 70-gram, 210-gram, 400-gram, 1.1-kilogram, and 2.2-kilogram packs. We've been operating in Ghana for the past 13 years, and for the past two years, we’ve taken on a corporate responsibility initiative. We donate one cedi from each carton of tomato paste sold to build schools in deprived communities. We started in the Eastern Region and are currently working on building a community school in one of its areas,” he said.

He added that winning an award at the event signified the company’s growing efficiency and effectiveness in serving the Ghanaian market.

“Our consumers should expect quality and nutritious tomato mixes. We're also producing hot pepper and have started manufacturing shito sauce. These new products reflect our commitment to providing nutritious, high-quality food that meets the evolving needs of our customers,” he added.
