As part of efforts to improve education in the Assin North District of the Central Region, the Network for Assin Development, (NAD) a Non-Governmental Organization, has begun the 4th edition of its ‘Boanimdea project’ to donate furniture, school uniforms, and other learning materials to the Assin Dwenakye community school.

The aim is to mobilize resources to help address the developmental challenges confronting the people.
The Executive Director/Founder Mr. Samuel Adobah disclosed that, Education has always proven to be a very important tool for development in any Country.
In Ghana, however, though the government has taken steps to ensure the realization of quality education, there are still lot of work to be done as the educational sector still faces several challenges, especially in the rural areas including the Assin land.
According to him, Assin land, over the years, has faced numerous challenges in education and therefore government alone cannot shoulder all the responsibilities. Mr.
