Project Goal: To raise $20,000 to fund the retrofitting project.
Location: Akropong School for the Blind, Ghana
Project Lead: Yvonne Commey Esq
The Need
The Akropong School for the Blind is a remarkable learning institution for visually impaired children in Ghana. However, the existing playgrounds and walkways at the school are not conducive to their needs. The current infrastructure limitations hinder their mobility and access to outdoor activities, which are essential for their holistic development.
Project Objectives
Enhance Accessibility: The project aims to install tactile pathways, handrails, and other accessibility features, making it easier for students to navigate the school grounds.
Create Inclusive Play Areas: We plan to revamp the existing playgrounds to include sensory play equipment and Braille-embossed signage, creating a joyful learning and playing environment.
Ensure Safety: The safety of walkways and play areas will be improved to prevent accidents and injuries.
Empower Learning: By creating an inclusive and accessible outdoor space, we aim to foster social interaction, physical activity, and emotional well-being among the students.
