Today in the village of Abenta, near Adawso, the Indian Women's Association of Accra, Ghana celebrated the completed construction of a new creche and kindergarten building for Abenta Methodist School. The village of Abenta is located in the Eastern Region and has become a focus of the Indian Women's Association's (I.W.A.) early education efforts.

Working in partnership with Village by Village, the NGO responsible for building the crèche and kindergarten, the I.W.A. provided Ghs48,000 to assist.

The new facilities have reduced the distances many of the children previously needed to walk daily just to attend school. The new creche and kindergarten buildings began taking students at the beginning of the current term and enrollment has already increased from five in the previous term to nearly 40 at present in one class.

The early educational development these classrooms provide will ensure that the children who attend have the best opportunity to excel moving forward. As Mrs Cheema, the President of the I.W.A, says, “children are our future so we have to give them help and education.”

On visiting the completed classrooms for the first time, the members of the I.W.A. were pleased to see that their donation has the support of the community and will have a direct impact on the people of the village. The association is keen to continue supporting Village by Village in maintaining and improving the village Abenta and has also expressed an interest in financing medical and sanitation facilities in the area.
