The classroom block at St. Peter’s Primary School in Poase Takoradi, part of the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis, in the Western Region of Ghana, has been refurbished. Vivo Energy Ghana financed the project which cost US$ 19,047.  Additionally, the business gave the school garbage bins, teachers’ desks, bookshelves, ceiling fans, and classroom desks.

Vivo Energy Ghana’s managing director, Mr. Kader Maiga, said the organization was committed to furthering education and preserving the environment. He mentioned that Ghana would participate in the annual International Literacy Day celebration in September with the theme “Transforming literacy learning spaces,”.
