Newmont’s development foundation in Ahafo has constructed a three-storey multi-purpose E-block at the Yamfo College of Health, in Yamfo, one of Newmont’s ten host communities in the Ahafo region.
The facility, which cost GH¢2.7 Million, is equipped with six fully furnished 80-seater lecture halls, twelve offices, a staff common room, a computer laboratory, a library, two demonstration laboratories, 24 washrooms and a storeroom.
The project is expected to enhance the school’s infrastructure and address the broader educational needs of Newmont’s host communities and surrounding communities in the Tano North municipality and beyond.
Newmont’s foundation in Ahafo, established in May 2008, is the vehicle driving sustainable development in its ten host communities.

The foundation has, over the years, supported the infrastructure development of the Yamfo College of Health since its inception in 2015 under the initiative of the Omanhene Nana Ansah Adu-Baah II and the people of Yamfo.
The Newmont Ahafo Development’s Foundation (NADeF)’s maiden project on the school’s campus was the provision of the school’s administration block which was initially a community library.
This was followed by the construction of an assembly hall, a mechanised borehole and now a three-storey multi-purpose block.
Other projects funded by the foundation in Yamfo include the construction of a general recovery ward for the Yamfo health center, the construction of a two-unit nurse’s quarters, the construction of a 12-seater WC toilet facility and the provision of scholarships worth GH¢2.9 million to local students.
