CH Group Foundation, the CSR wing of the CH Group, has shown its commitment to supporting quality education by donating buses to the Achimota and Mfantsipim Senior High Schools in the Greater Accra and Central Regions respectively.
The schools each received a 30-seater 2020 Toyota Coaster Bus from the foundation..
Speaking at the handing over ceremony at Cantonments City in Accra, Chief Operating Officer, CH Group, Cynthia Darko Acquaye, said the donation formed part of the CH Group’s agenda to assist in transforming Ghana into a hub of world-class education in the West African sub-region.
“At the CH Group, we acknowledge that dominating the world economy requires the requisite human resource and this is anchored firmly on education. That is why we have taken this initiative to support the education sector with the aim of transforming the country into a world class education hub”, she stated.
She added that: “If the efforts of our forebearers will mean much in the future, we need to invest in the children of today and those of tomorrow. That is why the quality of education is among the biggest perturbations of Africa.
“As the black star of Africa, an inspirer of hope for the continent, we believe we are well placed to lead an education revolution for the West African sub region by building a hub for word class education. We believe that this can become a reality if we all work together and play our parts.”
Representatives from the Old Students Associations of both Achimota and Mfantsipim schools, expressed their gratitude to the CH Group Foundation for the gesture and assured that the buses will be put to great use.
