Rotary Club of Kumasi , partners come to the rescue of Brofoyedru D/A PrimarySchool .

The woes of teachers and students of the Brofoyedru primary school in the Atwima Kwanwoma district of the Ashanti Region will soon come to an end.

Over the years, teachers and students have to cross the main street linking the school and the community to access potable drinking water and also attend to nature’s call.

This according to the headmaster of the school Asare Bediako has hampered teaching and learning.

Speaking at a short ceremony organized by the Rotary club of Kumasi to kickstart the construction of 12 Boreholes and 75 Micro Flush Toilets for some selected schools in Kumasi and Obuasi, the headmaster of Brofoyedru D/A primary school commended the rotary club of Kumasi and their partners for coming to their aid to put up a washroom facility and a borehole for the school.

The Rotary club of Kumasi and the Calgary Stampede Rotary Club of Canada have teamed up to construct 12 boreholes and 75 micro flush toilet facilities for some schools in the Ashanti Region at the cost of $70,000 USD.

The initiative as explained by the club President Nana Afia Osei Asamoah aligns with Rotary International’s focus on water and sanitation, one of its seven key areas of engagement with communities worldwide under the theme “Magic of Rotary” for the 2024/25 Rotary year.

She said they were motivated by a request from the authorities of the school to come to their aid to fix the challenges they were grappling with.

” As a club, we are always willing to support humanity. We decided to offer support to the school after they submitted their request which was in consistent with the objectives of rotary such as provision of WASH facilities, economic empowerment, child health, etc”, the President added.

She revealed that the project is scheduled to be completed in a year, within which it will handover to authorities of the school.
