The school and community centre will be fully operational for the 2013-14 school year. Approximately 150 primary-school-age children from 24 nearby hamlets and villages are enroled in the new school.
The project is a joint community partnership between Hershey and Barry Callebaut.
The Hershey Learn to Grow Abokro school includes three furnished classrooms equipped with solar-powered lighting fixtures, a solar-powered water well, an infirmary, a school canteen at which subsidised meals will be offered, as well as housing for professional teachers and medical staff.
