The home economics center will also churn out some catering and services to the general public only on request as its main aim is for student practice education. The Conference Room is open for rental to the public to generate revenue to run the center independently. There are plans to use solar energy as has been done with the other YM Labs. The YMRC has a sustainability plan including having its own power and water sources to ensure their guaranteed availability. The unit is also to take orders and generate IGF to sustain the center. This unit is also another component added not only to provide skills to meet academic requirements but ultimately to contribute to the sustainable livelihoods of both the learners and the community. The Home Economics Center is meant to facilitate vocational education for students by providing an avenue for hands-on practice and training. The conference room – stocked for rental purposes, is a component of sustainability added to ensure that the facility has its own internally generated funds for maintenance. The YMRC is now open for use by the people of Yamoransa and other nearby communities – especially learners as well as the general public. On Thursday, November 26, 2020, the YMRC was re-dedicated by the Helping Africa Foundation in the presence of traditional leaders from Yamoransa and other nearby communities, the Mfantseman Municipal Chief Executive, and members of the Ghana Education Service, GES.


The fully furnished facility is now fit to be called a ‘Resource Center’, hence the name Yamoransa Model Resource Center (YMRC). The other three spaces have now been upgraded to have a 100-seater conference room for events and workshops a Home Economics Center with Catering and Sewing facilities and finally a Makerspace with Robotics equipment, 3D printing and Augmented /Virtual Reality learning facilities. The facility now has 4 units, one of which is occupied by the ICT center.
