A year-long advocacy campaign to promote environmental sustainability and safety.
The partnership is backed by $100,000 and will be a yearly affair. The initiative has received praise from community leaders, including Madam Georgina Rabbles, Circuit Supervisor of the Chemunaa Sub-Metro District Education Service, and Dr. Louisa Matey, Director for Sub-Metro of the Ghana Health Service.Other stakeholders, such as the Queen of Chorkor, Naa Adorkor Gyamfi 1, have also expressed gratitude for the initiative and pledged to put the donated items to good use.
