A team of five young Ghanaians representing their 20-member Reliance Charity Foundation has made a massive donation to the Kansanso D/A school in the Asante Akim North District in the Ashanti Region.
The leader of the group, Eric Owiredu Osei, stated that the school uniforms were donated to pupils who lacked them and were discouraged to report to school even in their house attires.
In addition, sacks the students used as backpacks were replaced with proper school bags. They also presented furniture to these pupils so they no longer have to sit on blocks or the bare floor to undertake class exercises.
"We tried to inspire these kids to remain focused and keep an eye on the ultimate source of hope, the Almighty God who would touch the hearts of many to come to their aid in the near future," Owiredu also said.

"God bless our mother Eliana Nana and her wonderful partners who came together to raise the funds and all the generous friends who supported this cause"
