A bicycle ride to raise funds for the establishment of a six-class room block for Nouri Imam Primary School at Tootingli near Tamale in the northern region has taken place in Accra.
The aim of the ride, which was sponsored by Vodafone Ghana, is to raise about GH¢30,000. Vodafone provided GH¢10,000 for the project.
The one woman bicycle ride was embarked by Princess Umul Hatiyya Ibrahim Mahama who rode the bicycle through most of the principal streets of Accra.
She was very hopeful to achieve the said target due to pledges she received during the ride.
Princess Mahama embarked on similar activity in January this year to raise GH¢60,000 for the same project but was only able to raise half of the amount hence the Accra ride.
She indicated that works on the school project has however started and is expected to be completed in four months.
She however requested individuals and other corporate institutions to support the cause in cash or in kind.
Princess Mahama also plans to send 10 needy but brilliant children from the 10 regions of Ghana to the university.
“We need to invest in children to reap good returns in the future,” she stressed.
She acknowledged Origin8 Satchi and Satchi, Ghana International Bank, Safety Insurance Brokers, Stanbic bank and others for their support.
