This time, the Mining company donated an amount of Gh732,309.40 to augment the existing infrastructure in the school.

This donation brings to over GH?2.5 million , the total amount committed to the Knust-Obuasi campus project even after donating its North Mine offices as foundation stone for the establishment of the University campus.

This generous support forms part of the company’s continuous effort to improve education and enhance community growth in its host communities.

According to Meshack Baah, HR Director of AngloGold Ashanti Obuasi Mine who led the donation on behalf of the Mine, education is one of the company’s main priorities.

He explained that the decision for AngloGold Ashanti Obuasi Mine to donate to KNUST Obuasi Campus was to help ease everyday life challenges in the school and alleviate the plight of students in accessing academic facilities.

Meshack Baah highlighted that this ongoing support from AngloGold Ashanti reflects the company’s mission to positively impact communities, with education being a central pillar of their social responsibility.

The Coordinating Dean of the Knust- Obuasi campus, Prof Lawrence Darkwah commended AngloGold Ashanti for their continuous support to the school.

He said the funds will go a long way to solve some of the infrastructural challenges facing the school.

“ Our numbers keep on increasing and this presents a huge burden for us since there is pressure on the existing facilities. AGA has always supported us but we call on other institutions to also come to our aid”, Prof Darkwah stressed.

With the continuous support from AngloGold Ashanti Obuasi Mine, KNUST Obuasi Campus is expected to expand and develop its infrastructure, creating better opportunities for students.

The donation is a strong signal that the company is committed to shaping the future of education in Obuasi and beyond.
