JOYFUL HEART FOUNDATION hasn't added a story.
Project Summary
Joyful Heart Foundation (JHF) is a
Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) established to promote development
in deprived communities in the country. Thus JHF is soliciting for
funds from individuals and organizations to bring joy to the people in
deprived areas. This project will take place at Domeabra, in the
Adansi North District in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.
The
foundation has identified two proposed projects to be undertaken in
the identified community: The construction of a bridge on the Gyimi
river and the provision of Computers and ICT facilities at the
Domeabra Methodist Basic School in the Adansi District. These projects
are to be undertaken simultaneously and expected to be completed
within six (6) month, ceteris paribus. According to the traditional
leadership in the area, the above projects are among the top priority
projects needed to improve living standards in the community. It has
been narrated that the dilapidated nature of the bridge has made it
difficult for the community members to attend to their farms,
especially when the river overflows at its banks. This results in
hunger and food wastage (because harvested foods could not be
transported to the market). In terms of safety it is also risky for
people to use this broken-down facility.
The Methodist Basic
School is said to be one of the oldest basic schools in the community.
The provision of Information and Computer Technology (ICT) laboratory
will facilitate learning and academic performance. Thus to make this
proposal achievable, an amount of about GH₵ 123,500.00 is required for
the two projects
Project Aim (Broad)
This project is being
undertaken to improve the local livelihood of the people of Domeabra
in the Adansi community.
Project Objective
1. To
rehabilitate the Gyimi river bridge in the community to facilitating
movement of people and goods from farm to the community and vice
versa. This will ensure timely harvest and delivery to avoid spoilage
of crops and other farm product.
2. To provide about hundred
(100) set of computers to Domeabra Methodist Basic School to enhance
the learning of Information and Computer Technology (ICT).
Making computers accessible to the school will enable the school
pupils to have practical knowledge in computer skills and information
technology. This will go a long way to improve the performance of
pupils in the ICT subject during the Basic Education Certificate
Examination (BECE). It is therefore estimated that making computers
accessible to the pupils will increase their computer knowledge by
50%.
