In a statement, a member of the Board of Directors, Rosemary Mroba Gaisie
indicated that “the purpose of the project, which came at a cost of ¢22,007.87, was to give the only primary school in the Sebedie community a facelift, and more importantly, ensure that teachers and pupils had a conducive place to teach and learn”.

She added that “plans are underway to commence the Foundation’s second project for the year 2023, which is to raise funds to buy identified medical equipment needed by the Madonna Clinic, at Ejisu-Besease, under the Catholic Diocese of Konongo Mampong, in the Ashanti Region”.

Asantewaa Yeboah indicated that she, together with her founding partner and friend, Rosemary Mroba Gaisie established the Magmina Foundation in 2022, to support schools and clinics in impoverished communities in Ghana.

She explained that the chosen name for the Foundation, Magmina “is intended to
honour our respective mothers, Margaret Yeboah and Wilhemina Ansah Abrokwah, who dedicated their active working lives to serve in the education and health sectors of Ghana, as a teacher and principal physician assistant respectively”.

Angelina Yeboah entreated corporate bodies and individuals to support development initiatives such as these, to improve the living conditions of people.

The Chief of Sebedie, Nana Aduonin Fori III, expressed his deepest gratitude to
