In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on Instagram, the young entrepreneur was joined by his friends as they distributed hot meals, essential supplies, and envelopes containing money to families in need.

Speaking to YEN.com.gh, Merdarlock explained that the motivation behind the donation carried out under the auspices of M-lock, stemmed from a strong sense of duty to give back to society.

"I always feel a sense of duty to help others in need. The streets feel empty and forgotten, so we have to hit the street and bring joy to those who can’t walk or have lost hope,” he said.

He further stated that the free food initiative, dubbed 'Feed the Streets Mission," had come to stay and that it would be held twice every year for the less privileged, especially widows and widowers.

"M-lock Feed the Street is set to become an annual event, with plans to continue this charitable work every December 26....there will be feeding programs every six months specifically for widows and widowers, reinforcing my commitment to supporting those in vulnerable situations," he added.
