Bawa-Rock Ltd, a gold trading and mining company based in Obuasi and owned by Alhaji Rasheed Bawa Namoro, has made a series of donations totaling GH¢250,000 to improve education and healthcare in the municipality.
The donations were made on Wednesday, October 15, and reaffirmed the company’s long-standing commitment to the development of Obuasi and its surrounding communities.
As part of the initiative, Bawa-Rock Ltd donated GH¢100,000 to the Galaxy Foundation to support its ongoing free surgical operations for underprivileged patients in Obuasi and nearby areas.
The Executive Director of the Foundation, David Hagan, expressed profound gratitude to the company, describing the donation as “a life-saving intervention that will restore hope to hundreds of underprivileged individuals in need of critical medical attention.”
In the area of education, the company presented various items valued at GH¢30,000 to the Obuasi Municipal Education Directorate to support the 2025 Best Teacher Awards.
The items included a 65-inch television, a gas cooker with oven, deep fryers, juicers, a blender, a microwave, and an electric kettle—all aimed at recognising and rewarding outstanding teachers in the municipality.
Additionally, Bawa-Rock Ltd refurbished the computer laboratory at Boete M/A JHS ‘B’ in the Obuasi East Municipality and supplied it with 15 brand-new desktop computers and new furniture to enhance ICT teaching and learning.
The headmaster of Boete M/A JHS ‘B’, Emmanuel Karikari, thanked the company for its timely intervention, noting that the school had been struggling to provide students with practical computer lessons due to a lack of equipment.
“This gesture will go a long way to improve ICT education in our school and prepare our students for the digital age,” he said.
The Obuasi Municipal Director of Education, Alfred Koomson, also expressed appreciation to Bawa-Rock Ltd., commending the company for its continuous support for education in the area.
He urged other corporate organizations operating in Obuasi to emulate their example by investing in the development of the communities in which they operate.
The presentations were made on behalf of the company by Eric Addae Boateng, the Business Development and Sustainability Lead at Bawa-Rock Ltd. He reiterated the company’s commitment to contributing to social and community development as part of its core business operations.
“Bawa-Rock Ltd believes in giving back to the community that hosts us. Education and healthcare are two key pillars that drive our corporate social responsibility agenda, and we will continue to support initiatives that improve the lives of the people of Obuasi,” he stated.
The series of donations further cements Bawa-Rock Ltd’s reputation as a socially responsible company committed to promoting sustainable development through partnerships and direct community impact—setting a strong example for responsible corporate citizenship within Ghana’s mining sector.
