Sugardemministries in their bid to improve lives and promote harmonious living on Saturday, September 1, together with Friends of Children painted Gavinakrom D/A primary school near Teacher Mantey in the Eastern Region for free.
Hunger Project -Ghana, a non-governmental organisation built the school in Gavinakrom few years ago which today is crucial in providing education to children in the area and surrounding villages.
As part of their revamp this year, Sugardemmnistries painted the facility themselves to prove that one doesn’t need to be masculine to be strong.
Nana Ama Asantewaa Kwarko, the founder of the group told journalists that they did not hesitate on taking on the project when they were approached because it goes in line with their tagline ‘STRONG BUT FEMININE’.
“Since we believe in women empowerment, we didn’t glance over our shoulders when we were approached for this project. We decided to paint the school ourselves so most people can notice the capabilities of women and acknowledge the necessary roles women can play in the development of our communities and our nations” She said.
The Chief of the area, Nana Kwakuvi I commended the efforts of the partners for making the project successful.
“One thing you must always remember is that this nicely painted school will always be yours,” he told the school children gathered at the event. He called on the Government and other NGOs to build more classrooms in order to have more children in the area attend school.
Speaking to the press, the spokesperson for the group Miss Kate Acheampong noted that the painting of Govinakrom D/A was their first project and that they will continue working with other organisations to paint more schools throughout the country.
