Supplies Are Provided To The Educational Volunteers Of Turkey Association Orphanage In Ghana

The Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency Directorate provided supplies to the Ghana Educational Volunteers of Turkey Association Orphanage, which serves children of elementary and middle school age, to improve the physical conditions.

With this project, which was undertaken by TİKA to improve the physical conditions in the Ghana-Turkey Educational Volunteers Association orphanage, furniture, student desks and chairs, computers, dormitory and cafeteria supplies were provided in addition to a generator and 15 ton reservoir to handle the building’s water problems. The supplies were handed over to the authorities.

The students at the Ghana-Turkey Educational Volunteers Association receive normal education during the week and religious education in the evenings and on weekends. Thanks to the supplies donated by TİKA to the orphanage, it is projected that students coming from the area will also be provided with Turkish and computer classes. The objective is for students who are educated for a certain period here to be sent to Turkey later as envoys of the strong bond between Ghana and Turkey. The furnishing of the building which is used as a meeting place between Turkish and Ghanaian Businessmen was also provided by TİKA with the goal of further improving the social relations between the two countries.

Medical Supplies for Prospective Pilgrims from Ghana
In addition to furnishing the orphanage, the TİKA delegation in Ghana provided medical supplies for 5,400 prospective pilgrims going to the Holy land from Ghana during the 2013 pilgrimage season. The blood pressure device, the diabetic level indicator device, nebulizer and other medical equipment as well as a variety of pharmaceuticals requested by the Ghana Head Imamate were delivered to the Ghana Pilgrimage Health Committee Directorate. Ghana Pilgrimage Health Committee Directorate Chairman Dr. Mahamadu Mbeniwaya said that the health aid provided by TİKA to the prospective pilgrims of Ghanaian had a very special place in the relations between the two countries.
