Sinapi Aba Savings and Loans has promoted a clean and green environment in basic schools in Nsawam through the Jan Binder Awards

Sinapi Aba Savings and Loans is investing in the promotion of a clean and green sustainable environment in basic schools in the Eastern region through its Jan Binder Awards. This initiative aims to attain the sustainable development goal 6 by instilling good sanitary practices in young people and children across the country.

The 2024 Jan Binder Awards took place in Eastern Region's Nsawam municipality, with Ignis School emerging as the winner, earning the title of the "Most Clean and Green School." Great Foundation Academy and Enokwakyewaa Preparatory School took the second and third places, respectively.

The awards are held in memory of Jan Binder, a young German man dedicated to ensuring environmentally friendly schools in deprived communities. After his demise, his mother, Martha Binder, began an annual cycling tour in Germany to raise funds for rewarding environmentally-conscious schools in his honor.

The winners received cash prizes, with Ignis School receiving GHS 32,175, Great Foundation Academy taking home GHS 21,450, and Enokwakyewaa Preparatory School receiving GHS 10,725.
