Fidelity Bank Ghana has reaffirmed its commitment to inclusive and equitable education by commissioning a fully equipped E-Library for the Tesano Cluster of Schools in the Okaikwei North Municipality.
The facility, which was in collaboration with Uniwiz Foundation, was delivered as part of the Bank’s flagship social impact programme, the Orange Impact initiative, which focuses on improving educational infrastructure and access across marginalised public schools in Ghana.
The newly commissioned E-Library is stocked with internet-enabled computers, digital learning tools, interactive software, and high-speed internet access.
It is expected to directly benefit over 1,000 pupils and teachers by enhancing digital literacy, encouraging research and reading culture, and introducing students to 21st-century learning practices.
The ceremony, held on the school’s premises, was attended by school leaders, students, representatives of the Ghana Education Service, members of the community, and officials from Fidelity Bank.
The speech on behalf of the Bank’s Managing Director, Julian Opuni, was delivered by Carl Nii Ayikwei Tetteh, the Regional Sales and Service Manager for Accra West, who highlighted the significance of the initiative.
“We are not just handing over computers or equipment. We are helping to close a gap—one that limits many bright, young students from reaching their full potential simply because they lack access to basic learning tools in a digital age.
“Through Orange Impact, and as part of our promise to be Here for Your Journey, we are proud to walk beside our young learners, their teachers, and their communities,” Mr. Tetteh said.
The E-Library at Tesano adds to nine schools across the country that have benefited from the Orange Impact Initiative.
Launched in 2022, the initiative was designed to mark Fidelity Bank’s 15th anniversary and supports schools through infrastructure upgrades, refurbishment projects, and the provision of teaching and learning resources.
The project is funded by Fidelity Bank as well as contributions from the Bank’s staff.
The construction of the E-Library was led by the Uniwiz Foundation, a key delivery partner in the project. Group CEO of Uniwiz Foundation, Whizdom Larry, commended Fidelity Bank for its foresight and commitment to educational transformation.
“We are proud to have built this space in partnership with Fidelity. Beyond the digital tools, we also created a section dedicated to traditional reading, a quiet space filled with physical books where students can read and reflect.
“We believe in a balanced learning model, where technology enhances, not replaces, the power of reading,” Mr. Larry shared.
The Okaikwei North Municipal Educational Director, Cynthia Aboni, lauded the Bank’s investment in public education: “What Fidelity Bank has done today is more than an act of goodwill—it is a meaningful intervention that addresses real challenges in our schools.
“The E-Library will help bridge the digital divide and allow our pupils to compete on a more level playing field,” she said. “We hope other institutions will follow this example.”
Adding a youthful voice to the event, the Assistant Girls’ Prefect of Tesano 2 Basic School, Coleman Precious Agyeiwaa, expressed heartfelt appreciation on behalf of the student body.:
“We are so happy and grateful for this E-Library. Now, we can learn more, do research for our assignments, and even learn how to use a computer. Thank you, Fidelity Bank, for thinking about us and helping us dream big.”
The commissioning of the Tesano E-Library reflects Fidelity Bank’s broader commitment to social responsibility and its long-standing belief that education is a critical driver of national development.
The bank remains committed to empowering Ghanaian youth, supporting the educational sector, and partnering with communities to build a stronger future for all.
