We advertised in the last issue of Ashanti News for donors who would sponsor poor students through university. Our existing sponsorship scheme provides funds for the last three years of their education, but until now we’ve had no money to give them for university costs. Our appeal for funding has generated promises covering five students and we’re still hoping for more. This is a great result and we’re very grateful to all the donors – under both the new scheme and the old.

The Griffiths Family Visit To Dome, Ghana.
The pictures show the welcome given to our amazing donors, Gill and John Griffiths, when they visited the village of Dome a few days ago with two of their grandchildren. Gill and John have funded a large clinic building at Dome, which will serve twelve nearby villages as well as many migrants driven south because of climate change – but it’s too soon to estimate their numbers or gauge their health needs.
Dome Village held a ceremony with speeches and dancing and made Gill and John honorary citizens of the village. They’re considering coming back next year to see the clinic in operation and the village will be delighted to see them again.
Accommodation for Volunteers at The Dome Clinic
The first photo shows the volunteers’ accommodation which we’re building alongside our new clinic at the village of Dome. At present the structure is complete and plastering is being carried out inside the building. The second shows the platform which is being built to accommodate the water tower.

Doors And Plastering Completed On The Dome Clinic Project.
All the wood and metal doors have now been delivered to the Dome Clinic. The plastering is about 98 per cent complete and we’re just waiting for the tiles.
Very exciting – the building’s now on the verge of being finished.
Cooperation With The Sekyere Central District.
Very good news. Ashanti Development has agreed to work with the Sekyere Central District education authorities to embed our work on improving the quality of teaching and learning. If all goes well, we hope to start working with another District too before long.
The Dome Climic Is Almost Complete.
The Dome Clinic is coming on in leaps and bounds. We’ve got most of the exra expenditure covered (eg beds and lighting and some medical equipment) but still need to raise money to build a house for the medical staff. If there isn’t decent accommodation, no doctors or nurses will be willing to come and work at Dome.
Plastering Stage for Dome Clinic Project
Our new Dome Clinic is not far from completion. Right now, the walls are being plastered prior to painting.
We’re very happy it’s being built so quickly, as we’d like to get it in use as soon as possible.
