Asare Bediako Senior High School in Akrokere, Adansi North District of the Ashanti Region, has received two mechanised boreholes and an 11-seater water closet toilet facility, thanks to the intervention of a benevolent NGO.
The facilities were handed over during a brief ceremony aimed at improving hygiene and supporting teaching and learning in the school.
Speaking to Adom News after the event, Headmistress Beatrice Kyei expressed her gratitude, describing the donation as timely and life-changing.
According to her, the school had been grappling with acute water shortage and inadequate sanitation facilities for years, which often affected student attendance.
“With these boreholes and toilets, we’ve seen a reduction in absenteeism. This is truly an answered prayer, and we’re grateful to Akoraa Ohemeng for making this possible,” she said.
However, Madam Kyei appealed for further support, particularly in the construction of teachers’ bungalows and an assembly hall, which she said were the school’s most pressing needs.
District Chief Executive of Adansi North, Charles Kofi Ogbeh, also known as Sir Charles, acknowledged the challenges of limited funding from central government and commended the donor for stepping in.
He revealed that his office had already submitted requests to the GETFund for the construction of an assembly hall and other key infrastructure projects at the school.
