Christian Children’s Fund of Canada (CCFC), an International Non- Governmental Organization, has donated educational items worth over ten thousand Ghana Cedis to some needy schools and girls in nine districts of the northern region.
The items, which were presented to five partner organizations of CCFC, included 34 bicycles, 58 tables, 91 chairs, 185 desks, 3 teachers’ desks, 3 cabinets, 12 blackboards, 50 boxes of toys, 158 boxes of text books & supplies and 13 boxes of sporting equipment.
Speaking on behalf of the Country Director of the CCFC, Mrs. Sanatu Nantogma, the Grants and Projects Manager of CCFC, Sulley David, said the bicycles are especially meant for needy girls who travel long distances in their Communities to go to School. She noted that “…this is aimed at achieving the Millennium Development Goal number three which seeks to eliminate gender disparity in education”.
He said CCFC reaches out to needy Children, Families and Communities of all faith across the World, to demonstrate Christ love.
A representative of the Regional Education Directorate of Education, Hajia Agnes Ali commended CCFC for their efforts, saying girls usually delay a lot at home doing household chores while some of them travel incredible distances to school. Therefore the bicycles will encourage the beneficiary girls to stay in School.
The Programs Manager of CCFC Paul Kofi Twene handed over the items to the representative of the Northern Region Director of Ghana Education Service in a presentation ceremony held in Tamale.
Receiving the items from Madam Agnes Ali on behalf of the partner organizations of CCFC, the Program Coordinator of Presbyterian Farmers’ Training and Child Development Program, Eric Chimsi thanked CCFC for the donations which is meant to assist very needy girls in getting to school but also assured that the partner programs would do well to let the items get to the intended beneficiaries.
