After organising a walk for education to raise awareness, funds and logistics for impoverished schools in and around the Kisseman community in Accra, the Ngorli Organization has begun a computer laboratory project for the Anunmle Cluster of Schools in the same community.
The non-governmental organisation in a statement said the computer lab is the first in the series of major educational infrastructure projects it hopes to provide for the people in the community.
The goal of the project, estimated at a cost of 80,000 cedis, is to boost the pupils' interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
The project is particularly dear to the heart of SSG Amezado Raymond, founder of the organisation and a former student of the Anumle cluster of schools. He is now a soldier with the 518th Sustainment Brigade, Knightdale, North Carolina, USA.
Founded in 1945 by the colonial government the cluster has seen little or no refurbishment. The school was originally built to aid in the development of education for the wards of workers of the Achimota School but the cluster has since been of immense benefit to residents around Anumle- Achimota, Kissehman, Anunmle, Christian Village, Abofu, Alogboshie, College, Akweteman Kofevi and Alajo.
The Cluster is made up of Anunmle 1&2 (now Knii Okaine), Anumle 3&4 (now Sackey Odei), Aggrey JHS and Anunmle JHS. Though the school can boast of some great personalities that went through its walls, the school's infrastructure is nothing to write home about.
Checks by Ngorli show that the schools have leaky roofs, poor ventilations, poor visibilities, insanitary conditions among other problems.
"Ngorli has a long term plan towards giving the school a major facelift but the computer science laboratory is its first step," the statement said.
The statement also called on Ghanaian residents home and abroad to support the organisation in mobilising funds to complete the computer laboratory project that has started in earnest.
Already the organisation has invested 30,000 cedis in the project and is working towards raising a further 50,000 cedis to complete it.
