Best Assurance donates 28,500 exercise books worth GH¢100,000 to GETFund

The Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) has received 28,500 exercise books valued at GH¢100,000 from Best Assurance Company Limited as part of a strategic partnership aimed at strengthening teaching and learning resources in educational institutions across Ghana.

The donation forms part of the company's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) commitment and represents a contribution towards addressing educational resource gaps, particularly in underserved communities.

In a formal letter dated August 13, 2026, signed by the Managing Director of Best Assurance, Mr Robert Wugah, the company confirmed its commitment to supporting GETFund through the provision of essential teaching and learning resources, including textbooks, exercise books, stationery and other relevant educational materials.

The commitment followed a proposal submitted by GETFund on July 14, 2026, seeking strategic partnerships with corporate institutions to mobilise additional resources for the development and provision of essential educational materials across the country.

The partnership falls under GETFund's Education Financing and Partnership Initiative (EFPI), a strategic resource-mobilisation programme championed by the Fund's Administrator, Mr Paul Adjei. Through the initiative, GETFund is strengthening collaboration with private-sector organisations, corporate institutions and international development partners to mobilise resources for educational materials, infrastructure and other critical needs within the education sector.

Commenting on the partnership, the Head of Corporate Affairs at Best Assurance, Mr Eric Paakow Selby, commended GETFund for its sustained efforts towards addressing infrastructure and educational resource gaps in schools across the country. He reaffirmed the company's commitment to building a robust and mutually beneficial relationship with the Fund.

Beyond its contribution to education, Best Assurance also expressed interest in exploring opportunities to provide insurance services to GETFund, particularly in areas covering the Fund's physical assets, operational logistics and third-party liabilities. The proposed areas of service include motor, fire, engineering, marine, bonds and accident insurance.

The donation represents another significant contribution towards GETFund's efforts to mobilise corporate support for education delivery. Through the EFPI, the Fund continues to create opportunities for responsible private-sector participation in addressing resource gaps and improving the learning environment for students across Ghana.

GETFund remains committed to strengthening strategic partnerships that complement Government's investment in education and advance the shared objective of ensuring access to quality, inclusive and equitable education for every Ghanaian learner.
