The Ghanata Senior High School reached out to Help Ghana to ask for assistance in purchasing mattrasses and ceiling fans for its girls dormitory block.
Ghanata SHS is located in Dodowa, in the rural part of Accra. The school offers accommodation to both male and female students. Currently, Ghanata SHS is struggling with a lack of comfort in the dormitory block of the female students. As many of these girls come from poor homes that do not have the financial means to bring their own mattrasses, some of them now have to sleep on the floor under unhygienic circumstances. Besides, due to a lack of ceiling fans available, indoor temperature rapidly rises and ventilation in the girls dorm is poor.
To support Ghanata SHS in this challenge, Help Ghana donated more than 30,000 cedis to the school. This budget covers the purchase of both 140 mattrasses and 20 ceiling fans.
After the school purchased the ceiling fans and mattresses, the head mistress proudly shared pictures of this donation with us.
