‘One day, I will help others too’ — Seidu Agongo’s donation brings hope to young apprentices

Hannah Ofori, a tailoring apprentice at Happy Royal Creation in Greater Accra, was recently gifted a sewing machine by philanthropist Alhaji Seidu Agongo. This donation marks the end of Hannah's long struggle to acquire a sewing machine, as she had to wait for other apprentices to finish using theirs before she could learn. Hannah expressed her deep gratitude, stating that she hopes to one day extend the same kindness to others who may be struggling.

Another beneficiary, George, was initially hesitant to accept the donation but ultimately joined a group of beneficiaries who were selected in the first phase of the initiative. Philip, another recipient, emphasized how the sewing machine will support his family and help him achieve greater financial stability. Alhaji Seidu Agongo, the donor, emphasized the importance of kindness and supporting others, stating that his initiative aims to empower young Ghanaians by providing them with the resources they need to succeed.

Over 800 sewing machines have already been distributed, with plans to reach a target of 10,000 machines nationwide through a partnership with the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme.
