The Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFUND) has received a donation package valued at over GH¢1.6 million from tech giant IPMC, aimed at supercharging educational ICT and community infrastructure nationwide.
The package includes five complete computer labs with broadband connectivity, 200 solar street lights and an Incinerator.
The donation package was received by Mr. Paul Adjei, Administrator of GETFund, in a brief ceremony in Accra.
The initiative, made under IPMC Ghana’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), comprises three key components aimed at transforming the learning environment and improving livelihoods in underserved communities.
These include five complete computer laboratories, two hundred solar-powered streetlights, and one incinerator.
The flagship item among the donated packages, estimated at GH¢1,000,000.00, according to Executive Chairman of IPMC Ghana Ltd, Amardeep Singh Hari, is five fully equipped IPMC-branded computer laboratories, each designed to provide world-class training in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics, and Information Technology.
The labs, according to Amardeep Singh Hari, will be connected via Starlink terminals, guaranteeing high-speed and reliable internet access.
All equipment will be covered by a five-year comprehensive warranty, eliminating any maintenance cost burden for the beneficiary schools during that period.
Beyond school hours, the facilities will also be made accessible to surrounding communities, providing public access to essential digital services in the areas of E-Agriculture, E-Health, and E-Services.
Also received as part of the donation were 200 solar-powered streetlights, valued at GH¢600,000.00.
These will be used to illuminate school campuses and surrounding communities, directly enhancing security, extending productive hours for students and community members, and contributing to Ghana’s renewable energy goals.
The final item in the donation package is an incinerator, valued at GH¢5,000.00, designated for the safe disposal of sanitary pads, face masks, and other hygienic waste.
The device, according to IPMC, is a practical solution addressing health and sanitation challenges prevalent in many Ghanaian school communities.
Addressing the media after the donations, Executive Chairman of IPMC Ghana Ltd, Amardeep Singh Hari, expressed confidence that the contribution, totalling GH¢1,605,000.00, would significantly enhance digital learning, improve school infrastructure, and support community development across the selected deprived schools in Ghana.
The company affirmed its eagerness to work closely with GETFund to ensure the successful implementation of the initiative.
Founded in 1992 and headquartered in Adabraka, Accra, IPMC Ghana has grown into one of the country’s leading ICT firms, holding Gold or Platinum partnerships with global technology giants including Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Dell Technologies, IBM, Microsoft, Cisco, Lenovo, and others.
Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund), established to provide supplementary educational infrastructure in Ghana, has consistently sought partnerships with private sector organisations to bridge funding gaps and expand access to quality education.
The IPMC Ghana donation represents precisely the kind of public-private collaboration that can catalyse meaningful and lasting change in Ghana’s educational landscape.
GETFund Administrator Paul Adjei received the donation on behalf of GETFund and promised to put the items to impactful use in the interest of the Ghanaian child.
This donation reaffirms IPMC Ghana’s position not only as a technology leader, but as a conscientious corporate citizen deeply invested in the future of the young people and Ghanaian communities it serves.
