Best Assurance donates 28,500 exercise books worth GH¢100,000 to GETFund

The Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) recently received a substantial donation of 28,500 exercise books, valued at GH¢100,000, from Best Assurance Company Limited. This generous contribution is part of the company's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, aimed at bolstering teaching and learning resources across educational institutions in Ghana, especially in underserved communities.

In a formal letter dated August 13, 2026, the Managing Director of Best Assurance, Mr. Robert Wugah, confirmed the company's ongoing commitment to support GETFund by providing essential educational materials, such as textbooks, exercise books, stationery, and other relevant resources.

The donation was made following a proposal submitted by GETFund on July 14, 2026, to establish strategic partnerships with corporate institutions to mobilize additional resources for the development and provision of essential learning materials throughout the country. This partnership is a critical component of GETFund's Education Financing and Partnership Initiative (EFPI), a resource-mobilization program spearheaded by GETFund's Administrator, Mr. Paul Adjei.

Through the EFPI, GETFund is actively strengthening collaborations with private-sector organizations, corporate entities, and international development partners to raise funds for educational materials, infrastructure, and other crucial needs within the education sector.

Mr. Eric Paakow Selby, Head of Corporate Affairs at Best Assurance, expressed his appreciation for GETFund's persistent efforts to address educational infrastructure and resource gaps in schools across the nation. He reaffirmed the company's dedication to fostering a strong, mutually beneficial relationship with GETFund. In addition to its educational contributions, Best Assurance is interested in exploring potential opportunities to provide insurance services to GETFund.

These potential insurance services could cover the Fund's physical assets, operational logistics, and third-party liabilities, with coverage options including motor, fire, engineering, marine, bonds, and accident insurance.

The donation to GETFund is another significant step in GETFund's mission to mobilize corporate support for education delivery in Ghana. Through the EFPI, GETFund continues to create opportunities for responsible private-sector involvement in addressing resource gaps and improving the learning environment for students nationwide.

GETFund remains steadfast in its commitment to fostering strategic partnerships that complement the government's investment in education and contribute to the shared goal of ensuring access to quality, inclusive, and equitable education for every Ghanaian learner.
