With the assistance of Chelsea, Everton, and Newcastle United, the construction of the orphanage school building initiated by the late former Ghanaian winger, Christian Atsu, has been successfully finished.
Tragically, Atsu lost his life in February during the destructive earthquake that affected Turkey and Syria.
Prior to his untimely passing, the former Chelsea winger had initiated the establishment of the orphanage school, leaving the project unfinished.
However, thanks to the support from his former clubs Chelsea, Everton, and Newcastle United, the construction has now been completed, ensuring that Atsu's vision of providing a school for orphans has been realized.
However, his former Premier League clubs and other charity organisations came together to ensure the project saw the light of day.
"A lot of people reached out to us, which was a good sign," said the Director of Becky's Foundation, Seth Asiedu on Twitter.
"I think it is through that a lot of people came around to help us. With special reference to Arms Around the Child, we also had support from Chelsea, Everton, and Newcastle United, and Sono Global and some other individual donors from overseas," he added.
Atsu was laid to rest in his home country in March, a month after his body was recovered from the rubble of the collapsed apartment he was staying in.
He scored the winner in his last game for Hatayspor against Kasimpasa, as reported by GHANASoccernet.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Juventus defender, Danilo paying tribute to Atsu after the Ghanaian winger passed away in the Turkey-Syria earthquake.
