Rotary clubs in Obuasi support schools

The Rotaract Clubs of Obuasi and Kumasi are impacting eight schools in their adjoining communities with 80 toilet units and two mechanised boreholes. 

The beneficiary schools are Okyerekrom D/A School, Adamso Primary/JHS, Buoho JHS, Kokotenten Primary/JHS, Akrofuom R/C School, Afrancho D/A School, Betenase Primary School and Penteng JHS.

Visiting Rotarians from the USA, Walter Hughes Junior and Mark Holland, shared the importance of this project to the entire Rotaract world.

This first global grant being led by Rotaractors in District 9104, Ghana will pave the way for the young leaders to extend support to the communities they operate in.

The objective is to support schools in Ghana with water and sanitation facilities, train community members on hygiene, empower school girls on menstrual hygiene and supply sanitary towels to vulnerable girls.

Dream

Rotaractor Godfred Acheampong challenged the students to dream beyond their limits along their academic journey. He also touched on mentorship programmes Rotary will be unveiling within the schools.

The District Chief Executive Officer of Akrofuom, who is also a Rotarian, Maurice Jonas Woode, charged the community to enforce the sustainability measures aligned to these interventions and commended the efforts of the young leaders in Rotary for making possible this impactful project.

The Member of Parliament for Akrofuom, Alex Blankson, affirmed his commitment to all the projects being implemented by Rotary.

The President of Obuasi Rotaract, Samuel Nuoma, called for support to improve the health conditions of the schools through water and sanitation interventions.

The Regent of Okyerekrom, Nana Agyei Amoako Ogyampa II, appreciated the good deeds of Rotary through the outreach of Rotaractors within his community and the entire nation.
