As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility, the largest privately owned bank, under its ‘Orange Impact’ initiative also renovated the staff office, a library, modern washroom facilities, and a rainwater harvesting system,
According to Fidelity Bank, a standout feature of the new infrastructure is its integrated rainwater harvesting system promoting water conservation and self-sufficiency. This ingenious feature will capture and store liters of rainwater annually, reducing dependence on external water. This self-sufficient approach not only ensures a steady supply of clean water for drinking, sanitation, and even irrigating the school garden, but also empowers the community and instills a sense of resourcefulness in students. This proactive commitment to water conservation and sustainability demonstrates our resolute belief in fostering values that benefit both the present and future generations.
Speaking at the handing over ceremony, the Regional Sales and Services Manager for the Western and Central Regions, Eric Osei, speaking on behalf of Atta Yeboah Gyan, the Deputy Managing Director, expressed, “Upon our first encounter with Nyameyekrom School, we witnessed a community yearning for transformation. The dilapidated state of the building served as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by numerous rural schools in Ghana.”
He added: “Understanding the profound impact on children, and as a Bank uniquely and proudly Ghanaian, we couldn’t turn a blind eye. We firmly believe that every child, irrespective of their background, deserves access to quality education, and it is our privilege to contribute to this transformative journey.”
The Nyameyekrom project stands as a shining example under our Orange Impact initiative, launched in 2022 as part of our 15th-anniversary celebrations. This initiative aims to provide comprehensive support to 15 marginalized schools over five years, tailored to their specific needs, including classroom construction, renovations, and essential learning materials. Nyameyekrom joins the ranks of schools like Duose D/A Primary School, Mamprobi Ebenezer 4, Okogyeasuo M/A Basic School, Fodome Kordzeto M/A Primary & JHS, witnessing remarkable improvements thanks to the program.
