The GAK Foundation is thrilled to announce the completion of the building at the Ampenyi M/A Basic School. In naming the building, we searched for a name befitting of the project. The word “gift” came to mind. “Akyedze” in Fante means, supplied by grace and shared in unity. What began as a place for students to eat is now a multi-purpose building that can be used by the community. Shortly after the project began, we learned how this effort would soon bless this community. We partnered with the school and the local community. The entire project took less than 7 months to complete. The building can accommodate 90% of the school’s population.
The Board of Directors: Founder and Executive Director, Dr. Elanza Pitre-Wilson; Director and Secretary, Kendria Russell; Director of Finance, Veronica Bowdry and Chief Operations Officer, Carolyn Hooper.
Working hand and hand with community partnerships we provide support and educational resources where it’s needed most.
