THE Rotary Club of Accra East has initiated a $100,000 project to improve on water supply, health delivery and educational facilities in rural and urban communities this year.
As part of the project the club has carried out plumbing works and painting on a two-storey science laboratory of the St Thomas Aquinas Senior High School at a cost of GH¢3,500.
The Project Director of the club, Mr Joe Hyde, who supervised the project, said the club undertook the work as part of its corporate social responsibility.
He said the Interact Club of the School and the Rotaract Club of the Institute of Professional Studies, which were both junior clubs of Rotary, assisted in the painting of the science laboratory.
He said the Rotary Club had donated books on different subjects to selected libraries and schools in the country.
The President of the club, Mr Yaw Assah-Sam, said the Club had provided boreholes in eight communities on the Akuapem Ridge to provide water for the people.
The communities are Kitasi, Aburi, Apirede, Ahwerase and Obosomase, as well as the Mampong School of the Hearing Impaired and Abiriw Teenage Mothers Centre.
Additionally, the club sponsored six doctors from abroad to offer free medical care to the people of Aburi in the Eastern Region.
Mr Assah-Sam said the club organised educational programmes such as interactive career guidance to students to give them the opportunity to talk to professionals in various fields.
He assured the public of the club’s commitment to embarking on more community projects to help develop the communities.
