AS part of activities to mark its 10th Anniversary, the Ghana Fixed Income Market (GFIM), one of the markets of the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE), has commissioned a borehole and water purifier for the La Enobal Basic School in Accra.
The initiative underscores GFIM’s commitment to social impact and community development, complementing a decade of deepening the fixed-income market in Ghana.
The project provides the school and surrounding community with access to clean, safe water, improving sanitation and learning conditions for over 550 pupils.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, the Deputy Managing Director, Frank Berle, said: “As we celebrate 10 years of the Ghana Fixed Income Market, we are reminded that our growth must translate into impact beyond the capital market.
This project reflects our belief that sustainable development begins with basic needs such as access to clean water and sanitation.”
The School Improvement Support Officer (SISO) and Acting Head Teacher, Perpetual Akafia, expressed appreciation to GFIM, stating: “This project is a blessing to our school community.
Access to clean water will not only improve hygiene but also create a healthier environment for teaching and learning. We are deeply grateful to GFIM for this thoughtful gesture.”
For her part, the Member of Parliament for the La Dade Kotopon Constituency, Rita Odoley Sowah, added: ’It is my prayer that the students take good care of the borehole, maintain it well and improve their hygiene and health.’’
The event, which was facilitated by United Way Ghana, was attended by the Member of Parliament for the area, Representatives of the Municipal Chief Executive, Municipal Education Director, Mankralo of La and other dignitaries.
