The Stichting Atta, a foundation formed from the twinning of the Kadjebi District of the Volta Region and Alkamade in Holland five years ago, has presented an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) system to the Jasikan Diocese of the Roman Catholic Church.
It also recently donated a Mercedes Benz Sprinter 316 Ambulance estimated at about GH¢30,000 to the Mary Theresa Catholic Hospital, which is the only hospital in the district.
In addition, the foundation also provided UPS systems, a generating plant, a photocopy machine, four printers and a stabiliser to the Roman Catholic Social Centre at Kadjebi for the establishment of an information and communication technology (ICT) centre for the district.
The foundation had earlier supplied 40 computers to the centre.
The Vice-President of the foundation, Mr Kofi Adjei Ntim, who is the immediate past Kadjebi District Chief Executive did the presentation on its behalf.
He said other forms of assistance the foundation had provided for the district were the construction of an 80-bed boys’ hostel for the Dodi Papase Secondary Technical School, a six classroom block for the District Authority Primary School at Kadjebi and support for 120 orphans.
The foundation intend to increase the beneficiaries of the package to 170 by the end of the year, Mr Ntim added.
He said the foundation had taken it upon itself to provide an ambulance yearly to a hospital in the country for the next five years.
It has also planned to construct a bridge over the River Asukawkaw at Dodofie to link the community with the rest of the country, especially during the rainy seasons when they were completely cut off.
Mr Ntim asked the youth to patronise the ICT centre, and update their knowledge and broaden their horizon.
