The District Lodge of Ghana, otherwise known as freemasons has provided a total of 1,695 pupils with uniforms in the Upper West region of Ghana.
The Freemasons made the presentation to the pupils during an exercise on Saturday, November 6.
Speaking on the intent of the donation, Grand Master of Ghana, Isaac Owulaku Hood, said it was in fulfillment of a pledge the Lodge made last year to make the donation a yearly one.
He added that they took into consideration the inability of most parents to provide their wards with uniforms and to make them presentable for studies.
Some pupils wear house attires, wretched or tattered clothes to school; this situation, Mr. Hood said the Lodge will do everything humanly possible to bring an end to.
Upper West Director of Education, Abdul Koora, who was present for the donation, told Adom News that measures were being put in place to ensure that the donation will be used for the intended purpose.
