In a significant effort to improve sanitation, safety, and hygiene in education, the Chief of Ejisu Onwe, Nana Asokwa Dankagyeabour II, has generously donated a 12-seater WC toilet and three washrooms to Onwe Senior High School. This critical intervention by the traditional leader in the Ejisu Municipality of the Ashanti Region is aimed at creating a cleaner and healthier environment that promotes effective learning and growth for students.
The donation is a much-needed relief for the school, which has struggled for years with inadequate toilet facilities. Previously, students were forced to cross a busy main road to relieve themselves, a situation that posed safety risks and compromised both their health and privacy. The new facility addresses these pressing issues, ensuring students have access to safe, on-campus sanitation.
During the commissioning ceremony, Nana Asokwa Dankagyeabour II reiterated his dedication to the educational advancement and welfare of the youth in his community. He appealed to local and international citizens, as well as various organizations, to lend their support to the school and the wider Onwe community. “Education is a priority, and it’s crucial that we provide the necessary infrastructure to ensure our students’ well-being and academic success,” he said.
Mr. Kwabena Owusu, the Ejisu Municipal Education Director, expressed deep appreciation for Nana Asokwa Dankagyeabour II’s contribution. He commended the chief’s efforts, describing the donation as a “transformative initiative” that would significantly improve sanitation on campus. Mr. Owusu also called on other community leaders and organizations to emulate this gesture, underscoring its positive impact on the development of educational infrastructure within the Ejisu Municipality.
Students and staff at Onwe Senior High School expressed immense gratitude for the chief’s intervention. For the students, having an on-campus restroom represents a significant improvement to their daily lives and school experience. One student shared, “We are so grateful to Nana Asokwa Dankagyeabour II for this wonderful gift. It will keep us safe and help us focus better on our studies.”
This gesture by Nana Asokwa Dankagyeabour II is not only a practical solution to the school’s longstanding needs but also a reflection of his dedication to the welfare of his community. The chief’s efforts highlight the critical role that traditional leaders can play in advancing education and public health.
The Onwe community remains hopeful that this remarkable initiative will inspire further contributions from citizens, groups, and stakeholders as they collectively strive for a brighter future for the younger generation.
