Accra, April 20, GNA – The Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) has received educational and community support items valued at GHS 1.6 million from IPMC Ghana, an ICT firm
The package, presented in Accra, comprises five computer laboratories, 200 solar-powered streetlights, and an incinerator.
The computer laboratories, estimated at GHS 1 million, are equipped with internet connectivity and will be accessible to both students and surrounding communities.
The solar streetlights, valued at GHS 600,000, are expected to improve security and extend productive hours in beneficiary areas. The incinerator, valued at GHS 5,000, will support safe disposal of sanitary and hygienic waste.
Executive Chairman of IPMC Ghana Ltd, Amardeep Singh Hari said the donation formed part of efforts to support digital learning and community development in deprived schools.
He said all equipment will be covered by a five-year comprehensive warranty, eliminating any maintenance cost burden for the beneficiary schools during that period
Mr. Paul Adjei, GETFund Administrator, said the facilities will be deployed to selected schools and communities to enhance teaching, learning, and community safety.
Mr. Adjei expressed appreciation for the support and assured that the items would be put to effective use in advancing education and community development.
