“Over twelve schools are benefiting, and this is important for me, ensuring that every child feels comfortable studying in school”.

This donation is going to the children directly, and am very happy about that”.

Nana Nteboah Prah IV added that, “there are adinkra cultural symbols at the back of the books which is to help instil our Ghanaian cultural heritage to these kids, so that they grow to understand their background and love Ghanaian culture”.

“Already, I have provided fifteen students full scholarships who are currently studying at Prestea Senior High Technical School. Some are in SHS 2, others are in SHS 3”, he added.

“I am also building a new school classroom for Himan DA Basic School, and the project is currently ongoing” the Chief stated further.
