A Ghanaian entrepreneur living in the UK, Jennifer Brown has promised to construct an accessible school for children with disabilities in Ghana.

The founder of Jenny’s Foundation, a Non- governmental Organization (NGO), was part of the organization’s measures to help the underprivileged.

Focusing on children with different types of disabilities, such as autism and in some African countries, especially Ghana, the CEO is determined to extend her kind gestures to the people of Ghana.

She added that over the years after the foundation’s establishment, it has helped many needy by paying their medical bills, school fees, startup capital for women, donating clothes, food items, and many more.

“Now, the next project is to build the ultra-modern school complex for the disables in the Eastern Region, Ghana,” she reiterated

As disclosed by the CEO, the school’s estimated cost is over $1million, of which a date for the sod-cutting will soon be announced to the public after major international Airport reopens to traffic.
