Taptap Send Ghana, an international remittance company, has donated $10,000 to Citi Opportunity Project on Education (COPE), in support of education in Ghana.
The Taptap Send Growth Director for Africa, Darryl Koku Mawutor Abraham, said quality education for the youth is key to sustainable development and the expected transformation of Ghana.
He is of the belief that the current plight of Ghana, and for that matter, all of Africa, in all aspects of growth and development can be overcome with the right education for all the youth.
As a result, every effort must be geared towards ensuring access to education for all.
Mr. Mawutor Abraham commended the brains behind COPE for offering scholarships to brilliant but needy students who would have been roaming the streets of Accra without such positive interventions and assured that Taptap Send, in line with its Corporate Social Responsibility, will continue to support such progressive initiatives.
He disclosed that it is for related reasons that Taptap Send sponsored the Child-In-Tech forum last December, which was attended by over 150 students from 7 Senior High Schools in the Greater Accra Region.
The Managing Director of Citi FM/Citi TV, Samuel Attah-Mensah, expressed his sincere appreciation of the Foundation to Taptap Send and its Growth Director for Africa, Koku Mawutor, for the kind gesture.
He said the donation will go a long way towards building the future of needy but brilliant children in Accra and the country at large.
Enumerating the challenges the Foundation encounter in raising funds daily, Mr. Attah-Mensah said the foundation used to pay ¢20,000 a year for a needy student but now pays 8,000 for a student, and this puts more pressure on the foundation’s resources.
