Ghana Gas Donates Computers To Schools To Boost Inclusive Education

Ghana National Gas Company Limited (Ghana Gas) has donated 20 desktop computers to three institutions in the Central and Western Regions: the University of Cape Coast (UCC), St. John’s Senior High School, and the Cape Coast Basic School for the Blind and Deaf.

The initiative forms part of Ghana Gas’ broader drive to promote inclusive education, particularly for students with visual impairments.

Out of the total donation, ten (10) desktop computers were presented to the University of Cape Coast, five (5) to St. John’s Senior High School in Takoradi, and another five (5), together with speakers and pen drives, to the Cape Coast Basic School for the Blind and Deaf.

Speaking on behalf of Ghana Gas, Isaac Ansah, Disability Liaison Officer, highlighted the impact of the initiative.

“These computers have become vital learning tools, enabling students with visual impairments and other disabilities to access digital resources, complete academic work independently, and develop essential technological skills,” he said.

He added that teachers and administrators have reported improved student engagement, greater independence, and a stronger culture of inclusion in beneficiary schools.

Receiving the items on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor of UCC, Professor Irene Vanderpuye, Associate Professor of Special and Inclusive Education, commended Ghana Gas for the timely intervention.

She emphasized the critical role of ICT in modern education, particularly for students with disabilities.

“ICT is key in every academic programme students undertake. In today’s world, it is especially important for students with disabilities, particularly those with visual impairments, to acquire computer skills,” she noted.

Since launching the nationwide computer donation initiative, Ghana Gas has provided over 150 desktop computers to primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions across the country, reinforcing its commitment to inclusive growth and empowering communities through digital access.
