Sissala east: Khard Global, a company specialised in apparel and garment production, has donated sports kits to the Sissala East Municipal Education Directorate ahead of the upcoming inter-circuit sports competition. The items, valued at GHS34,650.00, included nine sets of football jerseys for the nine circuits participating in the competition, as well as 81 tracksuits and T-shirts for officials.
According to Ghana News Agency, the donation was presented by Mr Ridwan Abass Dauda, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Khard Global, at a ceremony held at the forecourt of the Directorate. Mr Dauda stated that the gesture aimed to promote sports development in the municipality and assist in identifying talented young athletes for future growth. He explained that the donation would also support the municipality's participation in the inter-circuit sports competition.
Mr Dauda expressed that the stakeholders using the kits would appreciate the local capacity to produce such items in the Upper West Region. He also pledged to provide full sets of jerseys for all sporting disciplines and officials if the municipality qualifies for the inter-district competition.
Mr Charles Lewil, the Sissala East Municipal Director of Education, expressed gratitude to Khard Global for the gesture, which he described as both generous and timely. He noted that the Directorate had completed about half of its preparations for the inter-circuit competition, and the support from Khard Global had significantly boosted their efforts towards a successful outing.
Mr Lewil recalled the 2025 inter-district sports competition in Wa, where Mr Dauda provided jerseys and official wear for the Sissala East contingent, making the municipality stand out among participating districts. He mentioned that the distinctive attire gave the team visibility and a strong identity throughout the competition.
The inter-circuit sporting event is expected to bring together pupils and officials from all circuits to compete in various sporting disciplines.
