One of the schools to be renovated
The Volta River Authority
Resettlement Trust Fund (VRA RTF), in partnership with Pencil of Promise, a
non-governmental organization (NGO) with interest in education, has taken over
two school projects in the Upper Manya Krobo District to give them a touch of
modern status.
The two schools are Anyaboni Presby
and Roman Catholic (RC) basic schools.
Both schools will have new six-unit
classroom blocks, six-seater KVIP toilets and urinal facilities. Both projects
are expected to cost some GH¢370,000.
The VRA RTF will bear 30 per
cent of the total cost with the NGO bearing the 70 per cent.
The Country Director of Pencil
of Promise, Mr. Freeman Gobah, at a short ceremony to cut sod for the projects,
assured the people of their commitment to support schools in the area with
their various initiatives in education and sanitation management.
He pleaded with the people to
contribute their part to make the projects successful.
Richard
Twum Barimah Koranteng, Executive Director of VRA RTF, affirmed his commitment
to improve the livelihoods of the people living in various VRA resettlement
communities around the country.
The District Chief Executive
(DCE) for Upper Manya Krobo District, Felix Nartey Odjao, expressed his appreciation
to the VRA RTF team for their continuous support to the people. He applauded
them for the partnership and urged them to do more for the area.
