COMMUNITY PUBLIC LIBRARY
The library will provide a direct service to Mankessim community. The Local population is about 20,000 with four High Schools in the area but has no Library. The Mfantseman district capital, Saltpond also has no Library. Thus a district with a population of about 152,858 has no library in it’s district capital therefore even with the establishment of this community library, some people may travel long distances from surrounding villages to use this facility. Infact due to this dire need, this project responds directly to the community needs.
A land of about 0.86 acre has been purchased and levelled and is ready to begin construction of the foundation on which the Library will be built. The library would help us to educate some of the people who say women would be married so their education is not important as well as those under the notion that a child belongs to the maternal family so the father could refuse to be responsible for his own child.
It is our hope, that you will share your passion and love for the children in these impoverished area. And help with the establishment of this extremely important Library establishment. The Foundation counts on your usual cooperation and hope that you will help us to build the people and the children of Mankessim a small room for reading, homework and research.
