RAM Heritage Foundation, a non-governmental organisation based in Ghana’s Central Region, has extended support to pupils of Soro Wo Dofo/Abasa Basic School in the Abura Asebu Kwamankese District through a stationery donation drive.
Soro Wo Dofo and Abasa, twin farming communities in the district, are among the most underserved areas, with limited access to basic educational resources. The foundation selected the school after identifying significant gaps in teaching and learning materials.
As part of the outreach, the team distributed a range of items including exercise books, pens, pencils, mathematical sets and slippers to support the pupils and ease the burden on their parents.
The event also featured fun games, as well as snacks and drinks for the children, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere.
Headmaster of the school, Joseph Sackey, expressed gratitude to the foundation, noting that the institution continues to face serious challenges, including a lack of furniture, a library, a computer lab and other essential learning resources.
“We are very grateful for this support. These materials will go a long way to help our pupils,” he said.
Founder and CEO of RAM Heritage Foundation, Madam Coetta Zarina Pyne, said the organisation was moved by the difficult conditions under which the pupils are studying and felt compelled to intervene.
“We were touched by the plight of the children, and we believe it is our responsibility to support them in any way we can,” she noted.
A leading member of the foundation, Nana Benyin Wilmot, added that the initiative reflects the group’s core mission of promoting education and improving learning outcomes for children in deprived communities.
“Our priority is to uplift pupils academically, and we are happy to contribute to their growth,” he said.
Some of the pupils also shared their challenges, particularly in the area of ICT.
They explained that although they are taught the subject, they lack access to computers or laptops, forcing them to rely solely on theory without practical experience.
The foundation hopes its intervention will not only improve learning conditions but also draw attention to the urgent needs of the school and similar communities across the district.
