The Kabaka Foundation Ghana, established by Nana Owiredu Wadie (I), Nkosuohene of Kwahu Nkwatia, has has donated computers and accessories to the University of Environment and Sustainable Development (UESD) in Somanya, Eastern Region.
The donation, consisting of ten HP i5 desktop computers with accessories and ten Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) batteries, aims to enhance the university’s computing resources.
The donation addresses a pressing need highlighted by the university’s management, which had been using personal laptops for official work due to a shortage of computers.
This situation posed risks to data security and efficiency.
The Vice Chancellor of UESD, Prof. Eric Nyarko-Sampson, along with Registrar Mrs. Mary Abena Agyepong and other senior staff, received the items.
Henry Larbi, Executive Director of Kabaka Foundation,stated that the donation supports the Foundation’s commitment to UN SDG Goal 4 – Quality Education, as well as other SDG goals.
Henry Larbi listed the Foundation’s broader initiatives, which include projects like educational infrastructure, a modern Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a court complex, a police station, water system construction, support for vulnerable groups, and scholarships for underprivileged students.
Prof. Nyarko-Sampson expressed gratitude for the timely support, noting that UESD, being a relatively young institution, faces financial and logistical challenges. He mentioned that the foundation is the first of over 50 private institutions approached for assistance.
The university is dedicated to community development and achieving SDGs, with initiatives like community-based experiential learning, where students engage with communities to identify and address local issues.
He said UESD is open to further collaborations with organizations in areas such as environment, nature conservation, sanitation, and water resources.
