In Building of another 3 unit classroom block for the people and students of Asuhyiae DA JHS at Nsesresu, I provided building materials for the project..

Okuafo pa agric college is one ultra modern facility in the district,located in kyeremasu.The college was established to train and equip the youth with skills in agriculture.The facility was fully funded by ENI, an Italian oil and gas company based in Ghana.Since the establishment of the college, over 500 youth have directly benefitted from it through enrollment. The benefits included skills and finance.
