The Larry MacDonald Family, in partnership with United Way Ghana, is proud to announce the grand opening of a state-of-the-art Reading Centre, STEAM Lab, and Training Centre in the Amoam Achiase community in the Ashanti Region.
This initiative represents a significant investment in the future of the community's children and youth, aimed at enhancing educational opportunities and fostering a love for learning and innovation.
The newly inaugurated facilities include a comprehensive Reading Centre stocked with a wide range of books and digital resources, a cutting-edge STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) Lab equipped with modern tools and technology, and a Training Centre designed to offer various vocational and skill development programs.
Ms. Faustina Abbey, Executive Director of United Way Ghana, stated, “The Improving Basic Education (IBE) Program, supported by the Larry MacDonald Family, embodies our commitment to improving educational outcomes and empowering communities.
The Reading Centre, STEAM Lab, and Training Centre will serve as hubs of learning and development, helping to bridge educational gaps and foster a culture of innovation.”
The establishment of these facilities is expected to have a profound impact on the Amoam Achiase community.
By providing access to quality educational resources and skill development programs, the initiative aims to enhance literacy rates and academic performance among students; encourage interest and proficiency in STEAM subjects; increase school enrolment of children within the community; and equip individuals with practical skills and training to improve employability and economic opportunities.
The Larry MacDonald Family and United Way Ghana remain committed to the long-term success and sustainability of this project, with plans for ongoing support and future expansions based on community needs and feedback.
These projects are being implemented in partnership with Engage Now Africa, Ghana Library Authority, Ghana Education Service, The Municipal Assembly of Ejisu, The Traditional Leadership of Amoam Achiase, The Unit Committee members of Amoam Achiase, and the Assemblyman of Achiase.
