The Antwi Mensah and Family Foundation recently inaugurated a significant initiative to address the restroom challenges at Ejisu RC School.
They unveiled an 11-seater toilet facility for the Primary and Junior High School sections and a 5-seater facility for the Kindergarten, totaling 16 seats. Additionally, the facilities include a common shower area for the kindergarten and a changing room for female pupils in the Primary and Junior High School. This project, amounting to Ghc1,200.000 commenced in September 2022. Situated in the heart of Ejisu and accommodating approximately 1,000 pupils, this marks the school’s first access to water closet toilet facilities in its over 80 years of existence.
Dr. Kofi Mensah, Co-Chairperson of the Foundation and an alumnus of the school, spoke to the media during the commissioning ceremony. He expressed that the gesture aimed to give back to the school and address a pressing need not met by the government. Dr. Antwi Mensah stressed the importance of alumni contributing to their alma mater, no matter how small, and highlighted the inadequacy of the school’s restroom facilities as the motivation for the intervention.
