This gesture, according to the leader of the organization, Debrah Bekoe, is mainly because the deprived communities are usually left behind in terms of educational, social amenities, and infrastructural development.

He added that although the government has done a lot, more needs to be done on the side of the citizens, that is parents, opinion leaders, stakeholders, and other organisations.

Samuel Larbi, the vice secretary of the organisation has also pleaded with individuals, stakeholders, and institutions to come in to support AIG to embark on other projects that will free the deprived communities of poverty.
