Staff of Karpowership with some pupils of Manhean JHS
Karpowership Ghana Limited has offered a one-year bursary to 100 needy but brilliant students from Manhean Presbyterian Primary School and Manhean TMA Primary and JHS in Tema New Town, Accra.
The bursary is aimed at assisting low-income families in the community who cannot foot the bills of their school-going children.
Karpowership also donated learning materials to about 2,000 students in the Manhean Anglican Cluster of Schools in Tema.
The items included back packs, pencil cases, exercise books, pens, pencils and erasers.
According to the company, the scholarship and donations were part of its corporate social responsibility initiative to enhance teaching and learning in public schools at Tema New Town.
Volkan Buyukbicer, Country Manager for Karpowership Ghana, in his remarks, said Karpowership was pleased to contribute its quota to the development of public schools in communities in which it operates.
“Guided by our core value of Community Responsibility, Karpowership cares for the less privileged and remains committed to the improvement of communities we operate in.
“We believe that if the students are motivated in the classroom, they will grow to achieve great things in future, hence our committment to help with the tools and resources they need to achieve these great things,” he said.
Heads of the beneficiary schools expressed appreciation to Karpowership for their continuous support.
Elizabeth Oppong, Headmistress of Anglican Primary A and B, said, “We are very grateful for these donations and we promise to put the items to good use to raise academic standards in the school.”
A beneficiary from the Manhean TMA School, Racheal Mensah, who spoke on behalf of her colleagues, said that they would make good use of the bursary by studying hard.
Karpowership has been committed to supplying sustainable and affordable electricity to Ghana since it began operations.
Karadeniz Powership Ay?egül Sultan, with an installed capacity of 235MW, has been running efficiently to produce on average 220 MW of power.
