The Murabit Project continues to grow stronger with the unwavering support of our community. Last week marked our mid-year review, as we brought together parents from both Habitat and Bronikrom centres for a candid and collaborative conversation about our progress.
We reflected on what we’ve accomplished so far, what we’re currently doing, and what lies ahead. Parents generously shared feedback and suggestions, offering insights that keep us grounded and responsive to local needs.
As a gesture of appreciation, each parent received a refreshing malt on their way home—simple, sincere, and symbolic of our gratitude.
Key Highlights from the Meeting:
- Calls for a School at Habitat
For the second time, parents expressed the need for a school within the Habitat community, especially for children under five. We’ll continue engaging residents to explore the feasibility of this idea. - Clarifying Ownership
Some parents believed that the Murabit Project was funded by foreigners who built the Habitat community. We clarified that our initiative is locally driven, powered by the people of Dormaa East. - Curriculum Suggestions
At Bronikrom, parents recommended adding Math and Science to our curriculum. However, our vision remains focused: making Dormaa East the most literate constituency in Ghana by 2043, with a core emphasis on Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. - Time Adjustment
Parents at Habitat requested we adjust our operating hours. Beginning this week, we will now run from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm. - Affirming Our Commitment
We reiterated to families that the Murabit Project is entirely free. We have never charged for anything at our centres—and never will. - Birthday Celebrations Spark Joy
Monthly birthdays are cherished by the children. At Bronikrom, the enthusiasm has led to overflow—forcing us to pause new admissions. - Heartfelt Testimonies
One grandmother was moved when her granddaughter brought home a printed birthday photo. “I fixed it on my window, and every time I enter the room, my eyes catch it perfectly,” she said.
Another parent shared how her granddaughter insisted she attend the meeting instead of going to the market, because of how much the centre means to her.
We extend deep thanks to every parent, volunteer, and leader who makes this mission possible—especially Aikins Yeboah, whose dedication has been a pillar of strength since day one, and Commander Del Piero Alawu, whose tireless coordination made the entire gathering a success.
Our Mission Holds Steady
We remain committed to making Dormaa East the most literate constituency in Ghana by 2043. With an estimated budget of $2 million USD, we aim to establish 200 study centres across the district—centres where children Learn to Know, Learn to Collaborate, Learn to Innovate, and Learn to Succeed.
In shaa Allah.
