The Odortorm D/A primary school in Ghana's Eastern Region is on the brink of collapse, with cracks visible on the building and pupils at risk. Established in 2000, the school has only two teachers - the headmaster and a female teacher - and lacks basic amenities like electricity and a teachers' bungalow. Headmaster Ahenagi Solomon says the community started building a school block through self-help efforts, but the project stalled. The District Assembly promised to complete it, but nothing has happened.

The headmaster appeals for government and NGO support, while Oyerepa Tv calls for a teachers' bungalow to ensure safety. Credit: Nana Kwasi Asare/Geor...

  Residents of Pimpimso No 2, a farming community in Ghana's Eastern Region, have warned they'll boycott future elections if their concerns aren't addressed.
