Project Report | Aug 12, 2019
Moving Forward... One Step at a Time...

By Dr. Peter Carlos Okantey | Founder & President

Palm Institute has been taken through all the accreditation requirements of the NAB for the Institutional Accreditation process with the National Accreditation Board (NAB). We are currently waiting to hear from the NAB to kick-off the start of our three (3) and four (4) year degree programs. We remain optimistic that we will be able to raise the requisite funds needed to complete the outstanding projects of the first phase of our permanent campus. The following are outstanding projects towards the completion of the construction of the first phase of our permanent campus: 

  • Streets Lights: We need to purchase and set up street lights to light up the campus at night to enable our students, staff and faculty travel safely at night to their various individual destinations. It gets really dark at night here on campus and students; staff and faculty find it difficulty walking around and leaving campus on foot. The cost of purchasing and fixing the street lights is $6,580.
  • Connection to Ghana Water Company: Our campus is currently not connected to the main water source of the country. We currently use a borehole for flashing toilets, washing of dishes and watering of gardens and plants. We need to connect to a potable water source for students, staff and faculty to use. The cost of connecting to Ghana Water Company is $12,272. 
  • Rain Water Harvesting (rain gutters & pipes): Instead of relying on the national source of water supply for watering plants and gardens, we plan on harvesting rain water throughout the year for such purposes. The cost of purchasing and fixing the gutters and pipes for the rain water harvesting is $5,227. 
  • Parking Lot: The parking lot for the initial phase of the campus is unfinished. We would appreciate completing the parking lot. We need 145,000 piece of pavement blocks, about 10 trip of Quarry Dust, 5 trips of River Sand, 10 rolls of large polytene materials for the floors and cost of paying the workers who would construct the parking lot.  The cost of completing the parking lot is $25,000.

We would greatly appreciate support towards the completion of our permanent campus. Thank you so much for your continued support.   

Sincerely, 

Dr. Peter Carlos Okantey
