“We now have 200 desks in 7 schools in the Greater Accra Region through various funding partner organization projects. Through a Prudential Life Insurance Ghana project in partnership with Academic City University, Mckingtorch Africa had the opportunity to do another 100 desks from 1,000kg of recycled pure water sachet waste for Gbegbeyise School in Dansoman. Over 500,000 sachet bags are in these 100 desks,” Makafui Awuku disclosed.
“Prudential Life Insurance Ghana’s Plastic Recycled Desk Project is an initiative that turns plastic waste into durable, vibrant school desks for underserved communities. These desks offer students a cleaner, safer, and more dignified learning environment—proof that sustainability and education can go hand in hand.” – Prudential Life Insurance Ghana.

“I had a very fruitful and forward-looking conversation with young Ghanaian entrepreneur, Makafui Awuku, who is passionately and innovatively transforming plastic waste into plastic wealth. Through his recycling initiative, he converts plastic waste into useful products such as roofing sheets, desks, flower vases, and more.”
“We have agreed to rely on his expertise to construct two 20ft x 15ft open market sheds in Ehi to support night-time trading. The sheds will be roofed using recycled plastic roofing tiles manufactured by McKingtorch Africa. This initiative will not only enhance economic activity and improve livelihoods in the locality but will also promote environmental sustainability.”
The project will begin in the first week of August, upon the completion of all local arrangements with the Chiefs and stakeholders of Ehi. “This project forms part of my special initiatives for the third quarter. I am particularly excited about this collaboration because not only do I have the opportunity to support the innovation and enterprise of a brilliant young Ghanaian, but I also get to further advance my Green Ketu North agenda through this meaningful and impactful initiative.”
