According to her, while she was thinking of how best to support her alma mater, her attention was drawn to the lack of toilet facilities and urinals for the students, and she decided, with the support of her siblings and a few friends, to mobilise funds for the procurement of the computers and renovation of the washrooms for the school.

The chief linguist (Okyeame) of the Krapa community, Kwaku Owusu, who received the computers on behalf of Nananom before handing them over to the headmaster of the school, commended Madam Adwoa Serwah for her unprecedented donation.

According to him, the donation was the first of its kind since the creation of the community in the late Asantehene Nana Obiri Yeboah’s era. He, therefore, threatened to invoke the 12 river deities in the area to deal with anyone and his dependents who dared to steal the computers from the school.
