Hemang Nsuaem Basic School in the Central Region of Ghana is taking part in the Nkoko Nkitinkiti programme, a government initiative aimed at supporting households with poultry birds. The school, located in the Hemang Lower Denkyira District, is demonstrating how the programme can function effectively. The Showboyz Foundation has joined forces with the school, starting with 200 layers of chickens and aiming to increase the number to 300.
Founder and CEO of the foundation, Isaac Agyir, also plans to establish a catfish farm for the school. Nana Kobena Ayebin, the Odikro of Hemang Nsuaem, donated a five-acre plot of land for the school's expanded farming project. He praised Agyir, who is also a teacher at the school, for his positive impact on the community. The Central Regional Director of Agriculture, who was present during the programme, was also urged to consider the school for this year's National Farmers' Day Award.
