NGO builds classroom block for deprived school

An NGO, Princess Umul Hatiyya Foundation, has built a six classroom school block for Nouri Imam primary school in Tuutingli near Tamale.

In addition to the school block a library, staff room and toilet facilities were built for the school. The entire project, which cost GHc120, 000, took seven months to complete.

The project was sponsored by Vodafone, Stanbic Bank, GLICO, Mawums Limited, Safety Insurance, Mansell Limited and among others.

The Metropolitan Chief Executive, and the chiefs of the area helped us to commission the school. I have enclosed some pictures of the structures.

The Chief Executive of Princess Umul Hatiyya Foundation, Princess Umul Hatiyya, during the commissioning of the school block, commended the teachers for their massive contribution to educating the children under the poor structure. She also urged them to instil the importance of reading in the pupils because “readers are leaders”.

Last year, the chief executive of the foundation embarked on a six-day bicycle ride from Accra to Tamale to raise funds to build a 6 classroom block, library, staff room and toilet facilities for the deprived school.

The Princess Umul Hatiyya Foundation focuses on Education. The foundation believes in the potential of every human being and firmly believes that children when given the right start in life will flourish beyond measure.
