However, we have raised £13656.06

●A pre-school building, and
●Teacher accommodation
Building work for the project started in
February 2022.

Aframano has a junior school with four
or five classrooms, for children aged 5
to 12. This accommodates children of
junior school age. The villagers
wanted to establish a pre-school for
children too young to go to the junior
school. This will benefit the children
by preparing them for school
education, but importantly it will also
benefit parents, by freeing them of
childcare during part of the day and
enabling them to work.
Because Aframano is isolated, the
villagers also asked for a small
building to accommodate teachers
who stay in the village during the
week, and return home at weekends.
This will help attract better teachers
who are able to spend more time
teaching without worrying about how
they will get home each night.

as a whole. Professor Ryan agreed the materials
that would be used for the Pre-School
(concrete floor; walls made from
blocks which will be plastered and
painted; windows will be wood, with
shutters, no glass; the roof will be
corrugated aluminium; the ceiling will
be plywood). It was also agreed to
refurbish two existing buildings (and
demolish a third one) for the Teacher
Accomodation, rather than build a
small building with 3 rooms.
Administration processes were also
agreed as well as some hardship funds
(in line with the Turbo Ghana
Sponsoring Education and Hardship
Fund Policy). Also potential new
projects were also discussed. These
include potential future projects
(Kontonho, Anyakammamu, and
Sereso), which were discussed at a
meeting with the trustees when
Professor Ryan returned to the UK.
Aframano Pre-School
We have begun building the pre-
school which is located near the
existing school building. The pre-
school has two classrooms and two
other rooms (suitable as offices or
store rooms). The pre-school will
comprise two large rooms, each 7m x
6.6m; and two smaller rooms of 4.2m
----- End of picture text -----
x 3.2m. There is also a verandah of 1.8m x 14m. In total, the space is about 150 sq m. The building work is progressing well. The foundations are in place and so is the main structure, and the roofing has started. Aframano Teacher Accommodation There is currently a small semi-derelict building with four rooms on the site where we are planning the teacher accommodation, some of the rooms in this semi-derelict building are currently used for teacher accommodation. The rooms are very basic: they have some bedding on the floor, a chair or two, and a makeshift curtain covering the window opening. Two teachers share a room, but currently not all the rooms are habitable. The rooms we build will be similar in style, accommodating two teachers per room. We will build to a better standard: there will be shutters that can be closed on the window, and we will also equip the existing rooms with nicer bedding. If we have money left over, we will also improve the quality of the existing rooms. The building we are building will provide 4 small rooms (2 teachers per room) and 2 larger rooms (3 teachers per room) – total up to 14 teachers will be accommodated. Building work for the teacher accommodation is also under way. The foundations and basic structure is in place.
