As Achimota School approaches its 100th anniversary in 2027, an exciting new project is underway to restore the school’s once-thriving farm.
This project, which was officially launched on Saturday, April 12, 2025, at the forecourt of the school’s administration block, was attended by old students and over 300 current students. The event started with a health walk on campus and capped with a food bazaar at the OAA Secretariat.
The aim is to create a 25-acre farm that will serve as a living classroom, teaching students modern farming techniques while also boosting food security and community involvement.
The planned farm will be split into several sections. There will be 5 acres dedicated to maize, mainly for the school’s feeding programme. Another 15 acres will be used for open-field vegetable farming, including popular crops like tomatoes, onions, okra, cowpeas, garden eggs, ginger, and lettuce.
A further 4.5 acres will grow habanero and chili peppers, chosen for their strong demand both locally and internationally.
Additionally, a 0.5-acre greenhouse will grow high-value crops like tomatoes, bell peppers, and cucumbers under controlled conditions to maximise yield and quality.
The farm will use modern irrigation systems, allowing year-round farming and giving students hands-on experience with advanced agricultural methods.
To fund this ambitious project, the OAA has partnered with the National Lottery Authority (NLA) to run the Achimota School Centenary Raffle through the Caritas Lottery Platform.
The goal is to raise GHC 25 million, which will cover land acquisition, infrastructure, and operational costs.
