Club President, Nana Afia Osei Asamoah explained their motivation to fix the sanitation challenges at the school.

“As a club, we are always willing to support humanity. We decided to offer support to the school after they submitted their request which was in consistent with the objectives of rotary such as provision of WASH facilities, economic empowerment, child health, among others,” she said.

Headmaster of Brofoyedru D/A, Asare Bediako commended the clubs for their aid to put up a washroom facility and a borehole for the school.

The project is scheduled for completion in 2025 and expected to be handed over to school’s authorities.
