Kabore donates GH¢100,000 to Akropong School for the Blind

The Akropong School for the Blind in Ghana's Eastern Region has received a substantial donation of food items and toiletries, along with GH¢60,000 in cash, valued at GH¢100,000 in total. The contribution comes from Alhaji Bukari Hamidu Kabore, CEO of Kabore Group of Companies, who visited the school as part of his birthday celebrations. The donation aims to support the welfare of visually impaired learners. In addition to the immediate provisions, Kabore pledged to fund the drilling of two mechanized boreholes, each equipped with a 10,000-liter polytank, to enhance the school's water supply. Kabore, who has prior ties to the school, emphasized the importance of private sector support, stating that the government cannot solely meet the institution's needs. He highlighted that this donation fulfills a pledge from Kabore Foam Compound Limited to contribute one percent of its annual proceeds to the school. He further committed to ensuring this annual contribution continues, even beyond his lifetime, instructing his family and company management to uphold this promise. Kabore considers his support not as giving back to society, but as investing in his extended family, expressing deep personal connection to the school. In recognition of his generosity, the school presented him with a citation.

I know what this school means. The government alone cannot take care of the school. Some of us must also remember the school and support it.
