The UK-based GUBA (Ghana Achievement Awards) Foundation has donated 100 study desks and three wardrobes to Tolon High School in Tolon-Kumbungu District in the Northern Region of Ghana.
This gesture was a reaction to a report by Hashmin Mohammed of Joy News describing the deplorable state of the school, in which students had been forced to live because of a lack of equipment.
Students, the journalist added, were forced to squat or use gallons as makeshift chairs to teach.

Moved by the report, the GUBA Foundation, a subsidiary of GUBA Enterprise, organized 100 offices and three cabinets to donate to the school last Friday.
Presenting the design offices, Dentaa Amoateng MBE, CEO and founder of GUBA Enterprise, said the organization could not afford to watch without doing anything about the students' situation.
"It's unbelievable to be able to play a role in helping this school, education is very important, and a supportive learning environment is even more critical," she said.
Ms. Amoateng added, "The GUBA Foundation is very pleased to be able to help these 200 students find themselves in an environment where they can concentrate on their studies without thinking about furniture.
She was grateful to the British High Commission in Accra for helping the GUBA Foundation to organize the articles.
The director of the school, Susanna Pharti Braimah, congratulated the GUBA Foundation for her donation, which would greatly contribute to reducing the stress of the students.

She pointed out that the donation was very timely and provided a great relief to the board, management, staff, parents and especially to the students of the school.
The principal stated that the school had a large population, totaling 2,343 students, even though it was a rural school.
Ms. Braimah called on the government, businesses, non-governmental organizations and philanthropists to help the school.
Tolon MP Wahab Suhuyini was also present and thanked the Foundation for its quick response.
"I am also delighted to be here this morning to attend the donations of furniture to Tolon Senior High by the GUBA Foundation. I see today a very important day in the life of Tolon High School and I urge you all to take care of your furniture, "he said.
He added that the government had put in place a program to provide furniture to all secondary schools in the country and that this program would begin in earnest.
Also present at the ceremony: the deputy director of the school, Mr Abraham Parko; Adam Nashiru, President of PTA, and Mrs. Yajuvu Barikisu, of DCE for Tolon. Alhbadan D Baba, Hasia Yakubu, Waliyu Hbadan and Mohammed Iddrisu of Joy News were also present to cover the event of the day.
