In 2001 Ghana Outlook identified that the three communities of Abordahi AX were desperately in need of educational facilities for their young people. In the past, these children have had the use of a very basic school constructed of mud and thatch. Unfortunately this building was destroyed by a bush fire in 1999 and since that time the children have had no formal education. Meetings were held with all three community leaders, who felt that their children were extremely disadvantaged because of their lack of a formal education. Under the Ghanaian education system, communities must build their own schools before the government can provide staff and equipment.
The three village Assembleymen agreed that the communities would provide an area of land, which they would clear in preparation for buliding.
Such was the enthusiasm in the three communities that the land was not only cleared but a primitive school structure of timber poles and palm leaves was constructed as a temporary measure.

The ministry of education and Ghana education service then officially met the communities and approved the plans for the permanent school structure, and this meant they were happy with the commitment of three communities toward the school and were committed to finding the necessary qualified teaching staff once the project was completed.
As part of this project it was proposed that a water borehole would be provided for the communities, to help eradicate the danger of guinea worm and other parasitic infection. As a stop gap aqua boxes(a water filter device) were distributed by GO on behalf of CART and Rotary Clubs UK, to all family units within the three communities of Abordahi AX. It means that these people have, for the first time, access to clean safe drinking water.
