GRANTS

Your committee has met recently and was able to discuss our finances. They are healthy but would not be able to satisfy the great demand coming from Ghanaian schools. Regretfully, we cannot therefore open any windows for applications. Instead we rely on personal recommendation, particularly through our representatives in Ghana. The following schools have sent us heartening feedback (photos to follow shortly): Aperade SHS; Aruofa DA BasicSchool; Diasibe AME Zion Primary School; Walewale Technical College; Kyekywere Basic School.

We were able to allocate grants to the following: Hia Community Library; Kyekywere Basic School; Manhyia Basic School; Ahwerase Presbyterian Primary School. Those were follow-up grant to enable completion of a project. The four new grants were for: Gbanjon AME Zion Primary School; Kanvilli Presbyterian JHS; Gung AME Zion Primary School; Zugu Dabogni Technical Institute. We look forward to receiving feedback from those institutions in due course.

IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT THE A.G.M. 16TH JUNE

There are so few registrations for the AGM that the committee has decided to cancel the venue and hold the meeting as a hybrid, using ZOOM. The plan is for the committee to meet in person and all other participants join via ZOOM at 2pm British Summer Time on Thursday 16th June 2022. If you haven’t already done so, please email either Penny Sewell or info@ghanaschoolaid.org to ensure that you will receive the link.

This means a considerable loss of income for GSA as the AGM and Reunion Lunch are traditionally a fund-raising event. Please consider making a donation to GSA. You can do easily by using the link provided elsewhere on this website. Thank you very much in advance.
