Ghanaian Rotaract Club tops Africa with outstanding project

The Rotaract Club of Adentan in Ghana has won the Rotary International’s (RI) Rotaract Project Award for Africa.

The Club which is part of the District 9100,  emerged African champions for raising $8,000 towards the cost of a new 50-seater library facility for a school located at Otinibi.

The group received the award at the 2012 Rotaract Preconvention Meeting in Bangkok, Thailand on May 4, 2012.

The library was designed by an architect at no cost to the school, and the site was surveyed by a Rotarian from the sponsor club.

Meanwhile, rotaractors in Nepal received the top prize internationally for initiating a radio programme that provided health care information to people in the eastern part of the country. The initiative was recognized as RI’s Outstanding Rotaract Project international winner.
