Yabi organises fundraising in aid of GH¢560k Community Centre

The Yabi community in the Atwima Kwanwoma District of the Ashanti Region, under the auspices of the Chief of Yabi, Nana Kwame Frimpong Kontonmire II and the Assembly member has organised a Fundraising in aid of the construction of a proposed Community Centre.

The organisers have targeted to raise GHC560,000 for the completion of the 1,000 capacity facility on an acre of land released by the chief.

The programme was chaired by Nana Osei Banahene, the Aduana Abusuapanin of Yabi.

Solomon Owusu Antwi, Assembly Member for Yabi Electoral area disclosed at the launch of the fund raising ceremony that after engagement with the Chief of Yabi and the Unit Committee, it was decided that the community needed a Community Centre for social gatherings, engagements and funerals, among others.

He explained that the project is a “self-help” initiative and that with the land for the project already available, each household in the area has been levied to contribute one bag of cement and one iron rod (14mm) towards the project.

The Assemblyman assured that with the help of the Unit Committee members every penny received would be accounted for and also ensure it is used for its intended purposes.

Antwi, therefore, called on philanthropists, civil societies, government and NGOs to come to their aid towards the successful completion of the project.
