Patron supports Street Academy’s ‘Back to School Project’
The Street Academy in Accra has received exercise books and other learning material to support its ‘Back to School Project.’
The materials were donated by Nii Boye Abbey, a patron of the Street Academy, a sports and culture organisation, with special emphasis in street and other deprived children.
The GH₵68,000 gesture was made up of 8,000 exercise books, 1,200 pieces each of pens, pencils, rulers, 800 mathematical sets, 4,000 Note 3 books and 4,000 pieces of erasers.
According to Nii Boye Abbey, the donation was his way of celebrating his 61st birthday anniversary as patron of the Street Academy.
He said giving these children a decent future was paramount for the academy and would work with other individuals and agencies that are ready to support that agenda to achieve that.
Ataa Lartey, the Director of the academy, said the donation came at an opportune time as it clashed with the academy’s ‘Back to School Project.’
This, he emphasised, would make sure that over 100 children of the Street Academy enjoy better education in the classroom as 2025-2026 academic year starts.
He called on other individuals and corporate bodies to support the academy with similar donations to help many more children to be in school.
