State Secretary’s trip to Ghana was a great success

Azbej Tristan államtitkár az öt napos ghánai missziós út során személyesen látogatott el a Hungary Helps Program által támogatott projektek helyszíneire, hogy közvetlenül is meggyőződhessen azok sikerességéről és előrehaladásáról. A tárgyalások és látogatások megerősítették a gyümölcsöző hosszú távú együttműködéseket, a helyi közösségek hálás szívvel, üdvözlő tánccal, énekekkel és helyi néphagyományaik bemutatásával fogadták a magyar delegációt.

1. állomás – Koforidua
A koforiduai Newill Academy nevű iskolában jelenleg a bölcsőde, az iskola-előkészítő óvoda és az alsós osztályok tanítása zajlik. Ez azt jelenti, hogy Newill Academy a 2-12 éves korosztály tagjainak nyújt oktatást. Az iskola célja, hogy 18 éves korcsoporttal bezárólag teljes általános és középiskolai oktatást biztosítson. A kevés osztályterem miatt az iskola azonban túlzsúfolt volt, egyes osztályok a szabadban, sátortető alatt voltak kénytelen tanulni. A magyar támogatás hozzájárult az iskola felújítási és bővítési munkálataihoz, az intézményegyüttesben két új osztályterem épülhetett fel. A projekt reményt ad olyan mélyszegénységben élő családoknak, akiknek egyébként nem lenne lehetőségük gyermekeik taníttatására.

2. Accra
The Don Bosco Child Protection Center provides shelter and rehabilitation for street children and young people who were forced to flee their homes. In Ghana, the organisation runs a school and provides vocational training in Ashaiman, thus integrating former street children. The Hungarian support has been used to build a sports center in the institution, which will contribute to the training and social reintegration of the 100 young people living there.

3. Tamale, Bolgatanga and Soe-Bolgatanga
In the north of Ghana, Muslims constitute a majority of the population. As the north is significantly underdeveloped in comparison with southern Christian provinces, Islamist radicalisation could easily take root among locals. To avoid radicalisation, the country’s Muslim and Christian leaders place particular emphasis on interfaith dialogue and education. There are 346 Christian educational institutions in the Diocese of Navrongo-Bolgatanga in the north. 80% of schools lack most basic school furniture and children often have to study sitting on the floor. The Hungary Helps Program provided 1,500 desks for twenty impoverished primary schools to improve educational conditions. During the trip, the delegation visited two schools with such desks, presenting students with face masks made by Hungarian volunteers in the framework of the Hungary Helps Volunteer Program.

4. Binduri
In Binduri, in the north, the Hungary Helps Programme supported the training of 1,500 women working in the local economy. The diocese, as project promoter, is helping women to develop their entrepreneurial skills so that they could set up their own small businesses. The women who attended the training were proud to present their products for sale and the skills they had been taught.

5. Wulugu and Guabuliga
In addition to educational infrastructure, health care in rural areas is also underdeveloped, Hospitals, generally overcrowded, are often unable to diagnose patients because the necessary equipment is not available. As a result, two health centers will be built in Wulugu and Guabuliga, which will provide care for around 190,000 local patients. During the visit, State Secretary Tristan Azbej visited the construction site of these new clinics.
