The Underground Mining Alliance (UMA) has commissioned a $65,000 Kindergarten (KG) block at Saint Lawrence R/C Basic School in Ntotroso, Ahafo Region, to enhance teaching and learning.
At the ceremony, attended by UMA staff, chiefs, Ghana Education Service officials, parents, and pupils, Organiser Asumadu Hayford explained that the project is part of UMA’s corporate social responsibility.
He shared that the initiative followed a request from the chiefs and people of Ntotroso. The previous KG structure, in poor condition, had contributed to a decline in teaching and learning.
With support from Ropeak Engineering, UMA provided a modern structure consisting of two fully furnished classrooms, two teacher offices, a toilet facility, and a water system. This new building aims to alleviate the challenges faced by both teachers and pupils.
Hayford urged the school management to ensure the facility is well-maintained.
Julius Aalangnuo, the Headmaster at the primary level, expressed gratitude for the timely intervention, noting the new facility will resolve long-standing issues for both teachers and students.
On behalf of the Paramount Chief, Twafuohene Nana Kusi Obour-Adum also commended UMA for their significant contribution to improving the community. He appealed to other companies and individuals to follow suit.
