Fon Group donates 6,000 exercise books to GETFund for basic schools
Manufacturing group Fon Group hands over 6,000 notebooks to GETFund for distribution to basic schools, targeting deprived communities.
The Fon Group, a prominent manufacturing conglomerate, presented 6,000 copies of Note 1 exercise books to the Ghana Education Trust Fund on Wednesday, September 9, 2026. The donation is intended for onward distribution to basic schools nationwide, with special focus on communities that face educational resource shortages. This intervention forms part of the group’s broader corporate social responsibility agenda, which seeks to improve learning conditions in underserved areas. The gesture was welcomed as a timely boost for the start of the new academic term, reinforcing ongoing efforts by state and civil society actors to close the material gap in public basic education. Stakeholders in the education sector have highlighted the importance of such partnerships in sustaining enrollment and learning outcomes in marginalized districts. The company has previously supported school infrastructure and teacher training initiatives across the country. Distribution of the notebooks will be coordinated with regional education directorates to ensure equitable access. Beneficiary schools in remote and low-income zones are expected to receive allocations within the coming weeks. The move underscores growing private-sector engagement in complementing government efforts through the GETFund framework.
