FC Group to Pick Up Support for the Maya Abou-Jaoude Memorial Library Project in Ghana

Following Fenton's last trip to Accra this year, where he saw an advancement in construction of the Library Project, FC Group has decided to revive its support for this worthwhile project - The Maya Abou-Jaoude Memorial Library Project at Ningo Prampram, Ghana.

Ghana’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, with the first two cases in Ghana confirmed on 12th March 2020, when two infected people came to Ghana from Norway and Turkey, has been remarkable. This has limited the number of death tolls and opened the economy with things slowly getting back to normal. Ghana became the first country in Africa to receive 600,000 doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine in February this year.

This means FC Group can continue with the Maya Abou-Jaoude Memorial Library Project and Fenton looks forward to his next trip shortly to further advance the project. The library comprises a 100-seating capacity, furniture, bookshelves, a librarian’s office, and washroom. He was delighted to see an improvement in the structure during his last visit and will be lobbying partners and friends to help complete the project, during this trip.

INSPIRATION BEHIND PROJECT

This project is inspired by a twin’s zeal to build a new library project in fond memory of her sister, as part of their ongoing community projects managed by their founded Ghana Twins Foundation.

AT A GLANCE

The Maya Abou-Jaoude Library Project is to improve the reading and writing skills of children in both basic and upper secondary levels at Ningo-Prampram, Ghana

It will target poor children who lack access to qualitative educational opportunities and relevant exposure which comes from access to books and other sources. Such children include those from families with low income, who attend poor community public schools or who do not attend any formal school programmes

It will improve the general knowledge capacity and competitiveness of poor and disadvantaged children, as well as to foster healthy use of community recreational spaces

It will provide online access and training via an Internet Café for all in the community

The key objective of this project is to promote early literacy and reading culture among children living in poor and disadvantaged areas
