The Ntumda-Nkonya Citizens Association (NCA) has launched its 30th anniversary celebration with a fundraising event to support community development projects.
The association, made up of Nkonya natives, established in 1996, has been instrumental in improving the lives of Nkonya residents through various initiatives.
The launch event which took place in Accra last Saturday, was graced by the traditional leaders and natives of Nkonya to raise fund for the anniversary.
Anniversary project
Speaking at the event, the Chairman of the NCA, Justice Gershon Sronipa, said the association was relying on fundraising to complete an ultra-modern 30-seater automotive washroom currently under construction.
He emphasised that the NCA had been a key pillar of the community’s development, and as part of the anniversary ensure that it addressed the sanitation needs.
According to him the association had over the years undertaken key development needs, underscoring the power of community unity and dedication to development.
On the impact of the NCA, he said the group had “restored non-functioning street lights, enhancing safety and security in the community.
The association has provided support for boreholes for clean water, benefiting the community.
The NCA has built five-bedroom housing for mentee teachers, improving the quality of education and also equipped schools with modern computer facilities to enhance education”.
These projects, he said, had positively impacted the lives of residents, and that their continued efforts were expected to bring further improvement to the community.
He added that as part of the anniversary, the association’s members from across the country and beyond would come together to support their developmental initiative.
Appreciation
The Chief of Ntumda-Nkonya and Nifahene of Nkonya Ahenkro Traditional Area, Nana Kwame Boadu Bassahia VII, expressed his delight in the launch of a community development programme, emphasising the initiative's potential to transform the community.
He praised the community members for coming together to support the initiatives, spearheaded by the NCA, and which were aimed to improve living conditions and provide essential services to the people of Nkonya.
Nana Bassahia VII noted that the initiative demonstrated the power of collective effort and urged those who hadn't joined the association to do so, emphasising the importance of contributing to the community's growth.
He further called on all natives of Nkonya to continue to support the association as it sought to address the very basic needs that were holding back the development of the community.
