A charity-driven organization, LINAKS Foundation, has renovated and handed over a three-classroom block to Good Shepherd Anglican Basic School at Korle Nkwanta, Koforidua, in the New Juaben South Municipality.
The foundation also donated notebooks, mathematical sets, erasers, sharpeners, and other learning materials to aid teaching and learning.
The previous classroom block posed risks to pupils and teachers due to weather exposure and dilapidated conditions. The transformed modern facility provides a conducive atmosphere for teaching and learning, equipped with modern writing boards, desks, a staff common room, and disability-friendly features.
At the commissioning on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, CEO of LINAKS Foundation, Mrs. Linda Akrasi Kotey, described the facility as a hub for innovation and knowledge, enhancing safety, reducing disruptions, and creating a conducive environment for learning. She urged commitment to raising educational standards and nurturing future leaders.
“This rehabilitated classroom block is more than just a physical infrastructure. It is a space for innovation, focus, and discovery – a place where ideas can grow and theories can turn into practice. It provides improved safety, reduces disruptions to learning, and creates a cleaner, quieter, and more hygienic environment for our children,” she underscored.
She tasked the school authorities and the pupils to use the new facility wisely, shape the minds of the pupils with passion and dedication to make the school a beacon of excellence. Mrs. Kotey also charged the community to take collective responsibility to maintain the facility to enable it serve future generations as well.
Eastern Regional Minister Rita Akosua Adjei Awatey, who commissioned the building, praised LINAKS Foundation’s initiative and urged others to give back to society.
“Mrs. Kotey has lived in this area before, saw the challenges facing the school, and has responded accordingly. This is what the government is expecting from you. Let us learn to give back to society,” she appealed.
She urged the school authorities and the Municipal Director of Education, Haruna Mustapha, to ensure that the facility is maintained and serves the purpose for which it was built.
The Municipal Director of Education, Haruna Mustapha, thanked the foundation and assured the facility would be put to good use. Headmistress Comfort Owusu praised Mrs. Kotey and the foundation for the impactful gift.
The event brought together high officials from the corporate world, security officials, and top politicians from leading political parties in the country.
