Outlining some projects the club intends to undertake, RP Mensah said the club would use a grant from Rotary Internation to provide nine mechanized boreholes to some communities in the Ga West District of Accra.

He also indicated that the club will donate sanitary pads to the female patients of the Ankaful Psychiatric Hospital and students of the Cape Coast School for the Blind and Deaf.

The club also intends to renovate the La Yahoshua Junior High School Library/Computer Laboratory and donate items to their adopted son at the Tema SOS Village, the Reason Foundation at Awoshie and the Children's Ward at the Nsawam Government Hospital.
