Hulede Foundation,founded by John Hulede,a US – based non profitable organization has donated mechanized borehole water to new Amakom cluster of schools in the Kumasi Metropolis of the Ashanti Region.
The donation is to help pupils and teachers to have access to portable drinking water which will facilitate teaching, learning and enhance quality education in the school.
Portable drinking water was a serious challenge to teachers and pupils in the school, therefore, the school relied on other alternatives hence the need for the donation.
Representing the foundation for the commissioning of the project,Mr Frank Bediako told the media that the donation was made after identifying the challenge of the school and promised that the group is ready to support schools in the Country with their limited resources if problems are identified to help better the lives of the people.
The foundation however, also took the opportunity to interact with over 250 students who are reading various programs at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology.
The above students are beneficiaries of the the foundation’s scholarship scheme awarded to brilliant but needy students.
Hulede foundation is responsible for the award scheme.
