The Justine Senuvie Memorial Foundation, in collaboration with the Kpando Secondary School 99-year group, has presented 100 desks to the Kpando Senior High School as part of activities marking the official launch of the foundation.
Two female students of the school have also been awarded scholarships under the same project, aimed at promoting girl-child education and improving learning conditions on campus.
The foundation was established in August 2025 by family and loved ones in honour of the late Justine Elorm Aku Senuvie-Avle, who passed away in August 2022.
It was created to celebrate her life and work, uphold the values she lived by, excellence, empathy, and selflessness, and continue the causes she supported during her lifetime.
Beyond preserving her legacy, the foundation also seeks to provide closure and comfort for her children and loved ones.
As part of its mission, the foundation will provide regular support for Christian missionary organisations, make periodic donations of educational materials to selected institutions, sponsor academic excellence prizes in basic and secondary schools, and initiate philanthropic programmes to support the less fortunate.
Addressing the school’s management and students during the presentation ceremony, Bernard Avle, General Manager of Citi FM/Channel One TV and leader of the foundation, commended Kpando Senior High School for “championing discipline” a quality he said “shaped Justine into a unique and valuable partner.”
Describing her as “an understated but very wise person,” he urged the students to see their time in school not merely as a path to grades but as an opportunity to be moulded into better individuals who will make a meaningful impact in the future.
Juliet Senuvie, sister of the late Justine, told Citi News that the Foundation plans to build a “strong relationship” with Kpando Senior High School to uphold her sister’s values.
She explained that the donation of desks was aimed at addressing pressing infrastructure needs to enhance academic activities, while the scholarships were designed to encourage and support the education of girls.
Headmaster Charles Evans Apreku expressed gratitude to the foundation and its partners, describing the donation as timely in addressing the school’s furniture deficit.
He lauded the foundation’s interest in both the academic and moral development of the students, noting that such support contributes significantly to shaping a disciplined and productive student body.
Justine Elorm Aku Senuvie was the wife of Bernard Koku Avle, a broadcast journalist and General Manager of Citi FM/ChannelOne TV.
She was survived by her husband, 5 children, her mother and 3 siblings.
She is an old student of the Kpando Secondary School and a member of the KOSA 99 year group
She was involved in Youth, Music & Evangelistic ministry work within the Apostolic Church Ghana as well as the Makarious Church.
She was also involved in social development and outreach work through groups like Far Above Rubies, the Praying Wives’ Movement and the Creative Couples’ Conclave.
Her relatively brief but pleasant life was a breath of fresh air to those who knew her.
She left behind a legacy of excellence in Youth discipleship, Social Philanthropy, Christian Mission support and godly family values, which form the ethos of the Justine Senuvie Memorial Foundation.
