Five months after his terrible departure, late Ghanaian football player Christian Atsu's goal of erecting an orphanage school has finally been realized. After sadly passing away in the horrific earthquake that hit Turkey in February, there are now doubts about whether the school that Christian Atsu had been funding for the Becky's Foundation will be finished. The cost of building the school, which is located in Ghana's Senya Beraku neighborhood, is projected to be £40,000.
Even though Atsu was unable to see it finished, the kind donations from Newcastle United, Chelsea FC, and Everton supporters were crucial in making it happen. Chelsea FC played a vital part by auctioning jerseys worn by their players, with the proceeds going towards the completion of the school through the charity organization Arms Around the Child, for which Atsu was an ambassador.
A recent visit by GHOne to the school revealed that construction has been finished, and the school is now ready to be inaugurated. Seth Asiedu, the Director at Becky's Foundation, along with the students, expressed their gratitude to the donors who made the completion of the school possible. One of the students shared, "When Atsu passed away, we lost all hope and didn't know what to do. But by the grace of God, we received assistance from people who helped us complete it."
The school which will be named the Christian Atsu Educational Center, is scheduled to be officially commissioned on Thursday, June 29, 2023. This marks a significant milestone in fulfilling Atsu's vision of providing education and support to orphaned children, leaving a lasting legacy in his honour.
