The Christian Atsu Educational Centre has been officially opened after the successful completion of the orphanage school project.<\/p>\n

The school, situated in Senya Beraku in Central Region, was inaugurated on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The inauguration was\u00a0attended by local chiefs, community members, and the family and friends of the late footballer.<\/p>\n

However, Astu did not live to see the project come to its full completion.<\/p>\n

\n

The former Ghana international tragically passed away following a devastating earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria in February of this year.<\/p>\n

His untimely death raised concerns about the school\u2019s fate; however, in a heartwarming display of solidarity, Atsu\u2019s former Premier League clubs Chelsea, Everton, and Newcastle, along with other generous donors, banded together to ensure the realisation of the player\u2019s dream.<\/p>\n

Collaborating with Becky\u2019s Foundation, they worked tirelessly to construct a remarkable nine-unit school building designed specifically for orphans in the Senya Beraku district.<\/p>\n

Atsu, known for his extensive philanthropic work, was laid to rest in his hometown of Ada in March.<\/p>\n

He is famously remembered for emerging as the best player during the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) where Ghana finished as runners-up.<\/p>\n
