The Rotary Club of Accra Ring Road Central is building a 3-unit classroom block estimated at $60,000 for pupils of Asempaneye Primary School in the Eastern Region. The facility will replace a dilapidated one in which the pupils were previously studying. This is an extension to a previously built 3-unit block currently housing the about 300 pupils of the school. A borehole and a KVIP are also being built on the school compound for the pupils and the community. The MTN Foundation is partnering the Rotary Club with a contribution of GHS41, 450.
