The pupils and teachers of the Martey Tsuru Presbyterian Basic School in the Ledzokuku-Krowor Municipality of the Greater Accra, heaved a sigh of relief with the commissioning of a GH¢4,500 water reservoir system for them.
It consists of two big polytanks and a standpipe platform. The Lister Hospital and Fertility Centre, located in the area, financed the project, in response to an appeal made by the school, to the management of the hospital for assistance to access potable water.
The 650 pupils and teachers of the school, hitherto grapple for water, which at times disrupt teaching and learning.
At a brief handing over ceremony, on Tuesday, Dr. Edem K. Hiadzi, the Chief Executive Officer of the hospital, said “the provision of the water system is part of the hospital’s corporate social responsibility and our commitment to assist the community we operate in”.
He said the hospital values the provision of quality education, and keen on ensuring that it was improved upon in our host community.
According to Dr. Hiadzi, there is the need to create a congenial learning environment to enable the children to perform creditably in their academic work.
He promised that the hospital would continue to support the school to improve teaching and learning, saying “we shall continue to support the kids who are our future leaders.
Mr David Pickering, the Administrator of the Hospital, was optimistic the system would provide some comfort for the children so that the challenges of access to water, would not affect academic activities in the school.
The Headteacher, Mrs. Janet Addo-Okyere, expressed her appreciation to the management of the hospital for the facility, which she described as timely.
She said the water system would provide a lot of relief to cushion the rampant water shortage experienced in the area.
