HOPSA 2000 year group launches Ghc3 million endowment fund for school

The Holy Child Senior High School Past Students Association (HOPSA 2000) group has established an endowment fund dubbed ‘Millennium Maintenance Fund’, to support school development initiatives.

The endowment fund is an initiative that aims at raising funds to finance various projects and provide financial aid to students in the school.

According to the President of the 2000 year group, Nana Akua Birmeh, the idea of this initiative was created out of their desire to help provide quality education for students and as a way of giving back to the school.

She made known that upon assessing the current situation of the school, it was  important that they establish an endowment fund to ensure its long- term sustainability and ensure the school has adequate resources.

“Just upon assessing the state of our school, we decided to come together and raise a fund, a fund that we expect to last generations basically, so that the school will always have something to fall on to keep the infrastructure,” she said.

Nana further underlined that their school needs to have consistent financial assistance for upkeep of its infrastructure and that it should strive to mimic successful educational institutions throughout the world.

“It is not for nothing that in other countries, schools which are hundreds and hundreds of years old, produce generations and generations of phenomenal people. Why can’t we do that for our school?

“This fund is going to be organised in a way that, every year, the school can fall on us, the alumni and the fund. We cannot watch our school go down because they do not have the capacity to maintain its facilities”, she added.
