Maltaaba Community Bank donated 10 packs of aluminum roofing sheets to help rebuild Anafobiisi Primary A School after a fierce windstorm wrecked classroom roofs last month. The March 10 disaster forced pupils to study under trees, inside a broken-down pavilion, and in a church building without proper learning materials. Peter Azeko from the bank handed over the donation on April 8, calling it part of their community support for education.
The school faced serious problems with overcrowding as two classes shared single rooms. Headmistress Felicia Anii reported more students skipping school because conditions became terrible for learning. Local organization Alagumgube previously donated whiteboards, markers, books, plus pencils to help the struggling school. Hannah Asanyuure, Assembly Member for the area, praised the bank's quick action that saved nearly a year of fundraising efforts.
Despite celebrating this gift, school officials keep asking for additional help to finish repairs for creating safe classrooms. Azeko urged everyone to contribute whatever they can because these students represent the future. The storm hit several parts of the Upper East Region, leaving many buildings damaged throughout the Bongo District.
