Three towns in the Pru West District of the Bono region received educational infrastructure from the Madamfo Ghana Foundation, a Kumasi-based non-governmental organisation (NGO) with offices throughout Ghana.
The foundation constructed a three-unit classroom block with offices, stores, and restrooms for the Cherembo Basic JHS and a six-unit classroom block with offices, stores, and restrooms for the Dama Nkwanta Primary School and Abease Primary School, respectively, in an effort to end teaching and learning under trees.
In impoverished areas, students had to study outside beneath trees, and each time it rained, class would finish suddenly. However, following a requirements analysis by the foundation, the decision was made to start building this year in order to reduce student stress. wholesome water
The organisation, which has been working in the region since 2020, has also given a number of towns mechanised boreholes to address their ongoing water issues. In addition to the school facilities.
The Abeaseman village and its Senior High School, the Abease community itself, the Aboa community, and Tigamgam were some of the beneficiary communities. In fact, the Abeaseman SHS has been without drinkable water for years, much as neighbouring towns.
Commissioning
Communities rejoiced at the commissioning as residents no longer had to travel far in search of potable drinking water. To provide a consistent supply, each borehole contains a reservoir that can hold up to 10,000 litres of water.
Enoch Attipoe Sunday, the Madamfo Ghana Foundation's deputy country director, spoke during the commissioning and stated The days of swimming in the same pool with animals were over. He expressed concern that some pupils' educations had been cut short owing to a lack of adequate classrooms and pledged to do much more to help the people.
More backing
Baah Kofi Thomas, the headmaster of Abeaseman SHS, thanked the foundation but urged other organisations to provide further help. He claimed that breaking the cycle of poverty and altering the narrative in communities depended largely on education.
Evans Kofi Mati, the Pru West District's education director, said that the renovations were timely, particularly during the rainy season to avoid delaying instruction.
David Manu, the District Chief Executive for Pru West, advised the people to uphold the initiatives fervently in order to inspire others to lend a hand.
