The A. M. Akrofi Educational Foundation supported two schools in Ada in the Great Accra Region on Tuesday, October 3rd, 2023.
Matsekope D/A School and Amlakpo D/A School received text books for the KG through the JHS levels to help with teaching and learning in the schools.
The girls in their menstruation stages in the beneficiary schools and their female teachers numbering over 300 received packs of menstruation pads that can sustain them for more than six months for them to be able to have continuous education as part of the Foundation’s commitment to support the girl child.
The founder of the A. M. Akrofi Educational Foundation, Mr. Gideon Ayiku Akrofi, CEO of Rehoboth Properties, started this all-important educational support foundation in honour of his late father, the late Albert Mensah Akrofi.
The board chairman, Rev. Prof. Seth Ayettey, a retired Presbyterian pastor and former Dean of the University of Ghana Medical School, who led the team from the foundation to do the presentation, entreated the students of the beneficiary schools to take their education seriously since that’s the only way they can also return to their communities in the new future to help the young ones that will come after them.
He entreated them to remain faithful in their daily lives, since that’s a great path to success and prosperity.
Mr. Titus Narh Agyesiwor, headteacher of Matsekope D/A JHS, speaking during the presentation to their schools, expressed their heartfelt appreciation to the A. M. Akrofi Educational Foundation for considering their schools by donating these text books to them, which will go a long way towards helping them in their teaching and learning activities in the schools.
He further assured them that they will take very good care of the text books to enable the books to last and be available for generations to come and use them.
In an exclusive interview with www.krobolandonline.com, the Board Secretary of the A. M. Akrofi Foundation, Rev. Samuel Buenor Lawerteh, who is a Presbyterian Minister, stated that despite the fact that the foundation is not 3 years old as of now, they have done a lot in their operational communities, which are Amlakpo and Matse, all in Ada.
Rev. Samuel Buenor Lawerteh continues to state that the foundation has, in the past, given scholarships to some students from Amlakpo and Matsekope for their tertiary education and also supported 20 SHS students from their operational communities.
The Amlakpo community also received a borehole from Rehoboth’s corporate social responsibility.
Other member of the foundation who was at the recent presentations is Naana Adede Akrofi I, Amlakpo Manye.
