The Kantanku Global Foundation has donated assorted clothing and footwear to students of the Akropong School for the Blind at Akropong in the Akuapem North Municipality of the Eastern Region.
The NGO also made the same donation to a marginalized community at Atoklokpota in the South Dayi District of the Volta Region region.
The donations were made on August 4 2023 and September 5, 2023 respectively.
The donations form part of the Foundation’s quest to help society address the pressing challenges facing the less privileged and to promote a more compassionate and community-focused world to model the value of generosity and selflessness in an enabling environment.
To create lasting change and a legacy of kindness for a better society, the Global Executive Director of the Foundation, Mr. Emmauel Nana Marfo, said there are still many marginalized people around the globe who are in dire need of alms, which calls for urgent attention.
He stressed on Kantanku Global Foundation’s commitment to identifying and touching some one million lives within a period of two years and is expecting to extend its charity work to other parts of the world.
Mr. Marfo said the blind are the most vulnerable persons in the world, with numerous challenges that call for urgent attention, and called on donors to assist the Foundation in addressing their needs, especially those of the students of Akropong School for the Blind in Ghana.
Mr. Joseph Sowu, a teacher and chairperson of the school’s donation committee, receiving the items on behalf of the Akropong School for the Blind expressed gratitude to the Foundation for its donation, adding that the philanthropic act came at the right time.
He appealed to the foundation to assist in addressing other pressing issues of the school including the lack of teaching and learning aids such as the projector, braille sheet, handframe, stylos, and curtains to secure the dormitories from the sun and to secure the students privacy when changing and dressing up.
Meanwhile, in the Volta Region, the Assemblymember for the Atoklokpota community thanked the foundation for the gesture, it was the first of its kind. According to him, the community has no productive economic venture to boost their socio-economic living condition, which has caused the residents to become impoverished.
He appealed for more support to help lift the indigenes out of poverty while safeguarding their health and promoting the education of children in the area.
The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
