Orphanage School Started by Atsu Completed by Former Clubs Chelsea, Everton and Newcastle

• Premier League clubs have supported the completion of Christian Atsu's orphanage school
• The Ghanaian international passed away in the earthquake in Turkey and Syria in February
• Atsu played for Chelsea, Everton, and Newcastle United during his time in England's league

The orphanage school building started by late former Ghana winger, Christian Atsu, has been completed with support from Chelsea, Everton, and Newcastle United.

Atsu tragically passed away in February following the devastating earthquake which struck Turkey and Syria.

The former Chelsea winger had started the building of the orphanage school before his tragic passing, leaving the completion of the project in a state of limbo.

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.
