Madam Budu in an interaction with the Ghana News Agency said her principal objective of the organisation is to improve Girl Child Education standard in the rural areas hence the donation.
She said a research taken proved that the Girl Child Education standard is poor in the rural areas and it is due to low financial on the part of the parents leading to lack of stationery for the pupils.
This she reiterated that it was her heart felt desire to help the youths through those educational challenges and therefore appealed to the Non-Governmental Organisations and well-meaning individuals to support her foundation.
Madam Stephania Cann-Dadzie, District Girl Child Education Co-ordinator, added that the Girl Child Education is a challenge in the area, and called on the Ministry of Education to help the district organise fora for the parents on the importance of education among their female children.
Mr. Tom Budu, Akyemaase District Chief Executive was there to honour the occasion while he pledged his support to the foundation.
