Students of Jame Primary School in Maprik, East Sepik Province have recently been granted essential support from BSP through its Wewak Branch’s Community Project, an initiative that showcases the corporation’s commitment to uplifting local communities.
BSP Wewak Branch Manager, Philip Solala, emphasized the dire circumstances facing the school, especially concerning the poor and unhygienic condition of the ablution block.
Over the past 12 years, the school’s 800 students have had to make do with inadequate Pit Toilets, resulting in heightened health risks not only for the students but also for the neighbouring communities.
“Our Wewak Branch staff volunteered their weekends to help the school by building a new ablution block for both male and female students and also installed a new water tank for drinking and general use.”
“The 4-week project saw our staff’s efforts assist eliminate health and sanitary threats the school and surrounding communities faced over the last 12 years; this is our way of giving back to the communities we operate in.”
Head Teacher Michael Ginio, his staff, students, and the surrounding community thanked BSP for the timely assistance during the project handover last month.
Maprik town Mayor – Paul Dingu, and LLG President Henry Ariro who were among attendees at the project handover were very pleased and acknowledged BSP’s effort in giving back to the communities.
