As part of activities marking its 10th Anniversary, the Ghana Fixed Income Market (GFIM), one of the markets of the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE),
commissioned a Borehole and Water Purifier for the La Enobal Basic School in Accra. The initiative underscores GFIM’s commitment to social impact and community
development, complementing a decade of deepening the fixed-income market in Ghana. The project provides the school and surrounding community with access to clean, safe water, improving sanitation and learning conditions for over 550 pupils.
Speaking on behalf of the Managing Director of the Ghana Stock Exchange, Ms. Abena Amoah, at the commissioning ceremony, the Deputy Managing Director, Mr. Frank Berle, said: “As we celebrate ten years of the Ghana Fixed Income Market, we are reminded that our growth must translate into impact beyond the capital market. This project reflects our belief that sustainable development begins with basic needs like access to clean water and sanitation.
The School Improvement Support Officer (SISO) and Acting Headteacher, Madam Perpetua Akafia, expressed appreciation to GFIM, stating: “This project is a blessing to our school community. Access to clean water will not only improve hygiene but also create a healthier environment for teaching and learning. We are deeply grateful to GFIM for this thoughtful gesture.”
The Member of Parliament for the La Dade Kotopon Constituency, Hon. Rita Odoley Sowah added: ’It is my prayer that the students take good care of the borehole to maintain it well and to improve their hygiene and health.’’ The event, which was facilitated by United Way Ghana, was attended by the Member of
Parliament for the area, Representatives of the Municipal Chief Executive, Municipal Education Director, Mankralo of La and other dignitaries.
