Rotary Club of Accra-Airport, SCEF donate school supplies to over 200 street-connected children

The Rotary Club of Accra-Airport, in collaboration with the Street Children Empowerment Foundation (SCEF), distributed educational supplies to over 200 street-connected children in Accra as part of their commitment to improve their educational opportunities. The event took place at Wesley Methodist Basic School on Saturday, August 29, 2026.

The donated items included textbooks, notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers, rulers, and other necessary educational materials. The initiative, themed "Quality Education: The Pathway to a Brighter Future," aimed to inspire vulnerable children to stay dedicated to their studies. Rotary Club President David Kwatia Nyante emphasized that education is transformative, restoring dignity and creating opportunities.

He stressed that providing school supplies prevents children from missing out on learning due to lack of basic materials. The beneficiaries were encouraged to take their education seriously, as it empowers them and equips them with the knowledge and values to shape their futures. SCEF's Mr. Semeh discussed the "Pathways to My Future" vision board activity, designed to help children reflect on their dreams and aspirations, while Kempinski Hotel's David Dayina addressed career development and the importance of remaining open to opportunities.

Beneficiary Mary Lamptey thanked SCEF and its partners for the support, which has helped her pursue her education and believe in achieving her dreams regardless of her background.
