TopAfric has officially started a new and important project today, 5 February 2026, in the Afram Plains of Ghana. The project aims to build a school to support children and families in the area. The school will be located in Hlihadzi.
The remoteness of the area is very clear. Although the distance is only about 141 km, the journey can take more than 24 hours. Desmond could not find any alternative access routes on Google, which shows how difficult it is to reach the community.
To begin this journey, Desmond and his team left Afienya, near Accra, very early at 3:00 am on Wednesday, 4 February 2026. The journey has been long and demanding. By 3:45 pm, the team was crossing the river from Adowso to Ekyiamenfrom, where they planned to rest before continuing to Hlihadzi the next day.
As the team moves closer to the project site, the challenges ahead are becoming more visible. Transporting construction materials and tools to such a remote area will not be easy. For this reason, TopAfric is exploring all possible means of transportation to ensure the school can be built successfully.
On their return journey via the same route, from Hlihadzi through Ekyiamenfrom to Adowso then Nkawkaw and back to Accra, the team plans to assess other possible and more effective ways to transport materials to the project site.
Despite these challenges, TopAfric remains fully committed to this mission. This project marks an important step towards improving education and creating better opportunities for children in the Afram Plains.
