The Save Nations Foundation, a non-governmental organisation, has made a donation of exercise books to Nooria Islamic Basic School in Accra. This act is part of the Foundation's efforts to enhance education in underserved communities. The donation aims to provide pupils with essential learning materials, thereby reducing some of the financial burdens on parents and guardians as schools reopen.
The Co-Executive Founder and Country Director of Save Nations Foundation, Isaac Kofi Dzokpo, presented the exercise books to the school. He emphasized that education is a critical tool for breaking the cycle of poverty and creating opportunities for children. According to him, the Foundation will continue to support the government's efforts to ensure that all children have access to basic educational resources, regardless of their social or economic backgrounds.
The decision to support Nooria Islamic Basic School was made following an appeal from Madam Gladys Katu, a staff member who brought the school's needs to the Foundation's attention. Mr. Dzokpo assured that this donation is not a one-time gesture, as the Foundation plans to return and support the school in various ways to enhance teaching and learning.
Mr. Dzokpo also highlighted the importance of access to basic learning materials for pupils' participation in classroom activities. He called on corporate organisations, philanthropists, NGOs, and other stakeholders to support initiatives that expand educational opportunities, particularly for children in underserved communities. He stressed that investment in education should be seen as an investment in Ghana's future.
The Co-Executive Founder of Save Nations Foundation, Samuel Osei, reiterated the organisation's commitment to building partnerships with government institutions, development partners, and other stakeholders. He emphasized that sustainable development requires collective action and pledged that the Foundation will continue to implement programmes aimed at improving the well-being of less-privileged people.
Madam Dorcas Dennis, Assistant Headteacher of Nooria Islamic Basic School, received the exercise books on behalf of the school and expressed gratitude to Save Nations Foundation. She described the donation as timely, noting that it will support pupils in their academic work and provide some relief to parents and guardians. Madam Dennis also appealed to individuals, philanthropists, and corporate institutions to assist the school with its infrastructure and logistical needs.
Madam Dennis encouraged other organisations and individuals to emulate Save Nations Foundation's gesture and support initiatives aimed at improving educational opportunities for children. The Foundation's donation of exercise books to Nooria Islamic Basic School is a testament to its commitment to enhancing education in underserved communities. The organisation's efforts aim to make a positive impact on the lives of children and contribute to Ghana's development.
