At the presentation ceremony, Louis Andrew Mendy, chairman of Norga Charity disclosed that the project aims to build an orphanage to house children and that construction of a school is ongoing at the site in partnership with Imdad Relief Foundation.
He further disclosed that 37 orphans would be resident there, adding that the school and facility would be opened to 250 other children in the Brufut community.
