The Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) has strengthened its educational infrastructure drive following the receipt of equipment and community support items worth GHS 1.6 million from ICT firm IPMC Ghana.
The donation, presented in Accra, includes five fully equipped computer laboratories, 200 solar-powered streetlights, and an incinerator, all aimed at improving education delivery and community welfare.
According to details of the package, the computer laboratories—valued at about GHS 1 million—come with internet connectivity and are expected to serve both students and surrounding communities, expanding access to digital learning resources.
The solar streetlights, valued at GHS 600,000, are designed to enhance security and extend usable hours in beneficiary areas, while the incinerator, worth GHS 5,000, will support safe and hygienic waste disposal practices in schools and communities.
Executive Chairman of IPMC Ghana Ltd, Amardeep Singh Hari, said the intervention reflects the company’s commitment to bridging the digital divide and supporting education in underserved areas. He added that all the equipment comes with a five-year comprehensive warranty to eliminate maintenance costs for beneficiaries during the period.
GETFund Administrator Paul Adjei welcomed the donation, noting that the items would be strategically deployed to selected schools and communities to improve teaching, learning, and environmental safety.
He expressed appreciation to IPMC for the support and assured that the resources would be effectively managed to maximise their impact on education and community development.
GETFund, which was established to supplement government efforts in educational infrastructure, continues to collaborate with private sector partners to address funding gaps and improve access to quality learning facilities across the country.
