Culture communications is doing this because we believe “Beyond profit we need purpose, beyond business you need purpose and beyond success you need a purpose that is what elevates your body, mind and soul. A brand without purpose floats and lacks emotive connection, same for businesses, entrepreneurs and people. You can have all the money and sit on high tables with kings and king makers, if you lack purpose you lack the soul to be a real enabler. This is our own way to deliver on our purpose” Benson said.
It will be recalled that in the last eight months, the foundation has fedover five thousand people, with the goal of giving hope and putting smiles on the faces of the hungry,believing that, no one within its areas of influence would go to bed without having something to eat.
