The scholarship covers a monthly stipend and necessities such as trunks, chop boxes, exercise books, textbooks, pillows, calculators, school bags and shoes. Desktop computer donation Yinson’s Ghana office donated approximately 20 desktop computers to the Information Technology & Communications (ITC) Centre within St Mary’s Senior High School’s compound to help solve the lack of computers in public schools. With a seating capacity of over 50, the ITC Centre also serves four public junior high schools (JHCs) in the vicinity – Arthur Fischer JHS, Apowa Catholic JHS, Kejabil MA JHS and Preatea Awunorkrom JHS. Yinson also donated two laptops to each of these schools in 2019.
