How school support is helping parents in Ejura Sekyedumasi prepare children for senior high school
Regina Appiah had been thinking about how she would provide the things her child needed to start senior high school because she did not have the money to buy the required items. “I cannot afford these items.

In Ejura Sekyedumasi, school support is aiding parents in preparing their children for senior high school despite financial constraints. Regina Appiah, a resident, previously lacked the means to purchase necessary items for her child's admission. However, the Member of Parliament, Bawah Muhammed Braimah, stepped in with a generous package, comprising metal trunks, mattresses, books, and other essentials.
This support has alleviated some of the financial burdens, enabling Mrs Appiah to enrol her child in school and aspire to a brighter future for her. Similarly, Franklina Sarpong was concerned about acquiring basic items for her niece, such as a trunk and a chop box. Thanks to the MP's initiative, she now has a trunk, chop box, mattress, books, and other necessary items.
Providing these supplies for school entry has been challenging for families in the constituency, even with the Free Senior High School (SHS) programme covering tuition. MP Braimah's programme aims to support 500 students this year, targeting those with good academic records while motivating others to excel. Each student receives a complete set of supplies valued at over GH¢1,000, significantly aiding their educational journey.
Mrs Appiah and Franklina Sarpong expressed gratitude for this invaluable assistance, highlighting the rare opportunities for support in their community.
