Issahaku Ibrahim (L) cutting the tape to commission the facility
Fidelity Bank Ghana has reaffirmed its commitment to expanding educational opportunities in underserved communities.
The bank gave this assurance at the commissioning of a fully renovated six-unit classroom block for the Atampuurum B KG/Primary School in the Bolgatanga Municipality.
The project, undertaken under the bank’s flagship Orange Impact Initiative, marks the 11th school to benefit since the programme’s launch in 2022.
Previously, the school faced severe infrastructural challenges, including a leaking roof, unfinished walls, and a lack of proper furniture.
With the intervention, it has now been transformed into a safe and conducive learning environment.
The new facility includes a dedicated office, a staff common room, and a library, fully equipped classrooms.
Speaking on behalf of Julian Opuni, Managing Director of Fidelity Bank Ghana, Issahaku Ibrahim, Branch Sales and Service Manager for Bolga Post, underscored the importance of the project.
“When we first visited Atampuurum in 2022, we saw young children learning under harsh conditions and teachers striving against the odds.
“Today, we are handing over not just a school building but a sanctuary for dreams, a place where curiosity and potential can truly flourish. This is the heart of our Orange Impact Initiative, which ensures that no child is denied the dignity of a proper education. We are proud to be Here for Your Journey,” he said.
Municipal Chief Executive of Bolgatanga, Roland Atanga, lauded Fidelity Bank for its dedication to inclusive development, stressing that the school would have a lasting impact on the community.
The Head teacher, staff, and community elders also expressed deep gratitude to the bank’s Managing Director, presenting a citation and traditional gifts to commemorate the occasion.
