For years, students of Ada Senior High Technical School battled erratic water supply, often sacrificing class time to fetch water, a burden that disproportionately affected female students.
But that struggle has come to an end, thanks to a timely intervention by the KGL Foundation.
The Foundation has commissioned two mechanised boreholes on campus, ending the school’s reliance on costly and unreliable water tanker services that sometimes took up to two days to arrive.
The initiative is already transforming daily life for the school’s over 2,700 students, including 1,631 girls.
“We used to leave lessons just to get water. This project means we can focus on our studies now,” said Omega Sackey, Head Prefect of the school.
The boreholes are expected to significantly improve sanitation on campus, reduce absenteeism, and restore dignity to the learning environment.
The District Chief Executive for Sege, Jerry John Foreigner Amornortey Tanihu Mills-Nkrumah, described the project as a major boost to education and community health.
The school’s headmaster, Thomas Raphal Vroom, hailed the intervention as a “moment of hope” and thanked the KGL Foundation and its partners for their unwavering dedication to making the project a reality.
“This facility will make a lasting difference in the lives of our students,” Mr. Vroom said.
Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Nii Annorbah Sarpei, Programs Manager of the KGL Foundation, reaffirmed the Foundation’s broader commitment to social impact, revealing that they also support scholarships for brilliant but needy students.
The project also received praise from the school’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA). Rev. Nathan Akwereh, a PTA Executive, described the intervention as a “blessing” for both students and parents, assuring the Foundation that the facility would be well maintained.
With access to clean water now secured, Ada Senior High Technical can focus more fully on its educational mission empowering young minds in a safe and supportive environment.
