Prefos donates computers to school

Prefos Limited, an indigenous electrical and civil engineering company, has donated 10 computers and their accessories to the Barwah Barracks Basic School in Tamale.

Madam Philomena Owusu-Ansah, General/Human Resource Manager of Prefos Limited, who presented the computers to the Six Garrison Unit for onward presentation to the School, said the donation formed part of the company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) to invest in society.

Madam Owusu- Ansah said since its incorporation in 1991, the company had undertaken numerous CSR projects across the country to improve the lot of society.

Group Captain Joseph Adu-Gyamfi, Acting Six Garrison Unit Commander, who received the computers, thanked the company for its kind gesture to the school saying there was the need for all to promote education in the country.

Group Captain Adu-Gyamfi said the school lacked the needed infrastructure and this made teachers sit under trees to mark classroom work and assignments adding the situation was affecting quality education delivery for pupils.

He said the Six Garrison Unit had cut the sod for the construction of a three-unit classroom block, library, computer laboratory and staff common room to solve the infrastructural challenges of the school.

Group Captain Adu-Gyamfi appealed for support in its efforts to adequately resource the school to improve education delivery for pupils.
