A charity-driven organisation, LINAKS Foundation, has renovated and handed over a three-classroom block to Good Shepherd Anglican Basic School at Korle Nkwanta, Koforidua, in the New Juaben South Municipality.

The foundation also donated notebooks, mathematical sets, erasers, sharpeners, and other learning materials to support teaching and learning.

The previous classroom block posed serious risks to pupils and teachers due to its dilapidated state and exposure to harsh weather conditions.

The newly transformed modern facility now provides a conducive environment for teaching and learning.

It is equipped with modern writing boards, desks, a staff common room, and disability-friendly features.

At the commissioning ceremony on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, the Chief Executive Officer of LINAKS Foundation, Linda Akrasi Kotey, described the facility as a hub for innovation and knowledge.

She noted that it enhances safety, reduces disruptions, and creates a more conducive learning environment.

She urged stakeholders to remain committed to raising educational standards and nurturing future leaders.

“This rehabilitated classroom block is more than just physical infrastructure. It is a space for innovation, focus, and discovery, a place where ideas can grow and theories can turn into practice.

It provides improved safety, reduces disruptions to learning, and creates a cleaner, quieter, and more hygienic environment for our children,” she underscored.

Kotey tasked school authorities and pupils to make good use of the facility, urging teachers to shape young minds with passion and dedication to make the school a beacon of excellence.

She also called on the community to take collective responsibility for maintaining the facility so it can serve future generations.

The Eastern Regional Minister, Rita Akosua Adjei Awatey, who commissioned the building, praised the initiative by LINAKS Foundation and encouraged others to give back to society.

“Mrs Kotey once lived in this area, saw the challenges facing the school, and responded accordingly.

This is what government expects from citizens. Let us learn to give back to society,” she appealed.

She further urged the school authorities and the Municipal Director of Education, Haruna Mustapha, to ensure the facility is properly maintained and used for its intended purpose.

The Municipal Director of Education, Haruna Mustapha, expressed gratitude to the foundation and assured that the facility would be put to good use. The Headmistress, Comfort Owusu, also commended Mrs Kotey and the foundation for the impactful donation.

The event attracted high-ranking officials from the corporate sector, security agencies, and leading political parties in the country.

LINAKS Foundation is the charitable arm of the LINAKS Group of Companies.

It aims to give back to society and has, over the years, supported various social causes, particularly in education, healthcare, and the welfare of the aged. The foundation has been in existence for more than 15 years.
