On Monday 6 March, Kobina Boni, a patron of Street Academy (a non-governmental organisation) donated over 300 packs of food to children who were affected by the recent fire outbreak at the Arts Centre in Accra.
The donation was in collaboration with the management of Street Academy.
Boni, who is also the chief executive officer (CEO) of Abajo Restaurant located at the Arts Centre, said he was concerned about the plight of the children at the Arts Centre because most of them are from poor homes.
He stated that the gesture will help to improve the livelihoods of the beneficiaries. Boni appealed to other philanthropists to support the vulnerable children.
Ataa Lartey, the CEO of Street Academy, commended and thanked Boni for the gesture.
He said the welfare of the children is a collective responsibility. He called on stakeholders to commit more resources to protect vulnerable children on the streets.
Some of the beneficiaries who spoke to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) expressed gratitude to the management of Street Academy for the food.
The Street Academy offers inclusive refuge for under-resourced children by providing an alternative school curriculum rooted in informal academic teaching, sports, music and arts.
It is a 3-year bridge programme that prepares children for mainstream education, the public school system and vocational training.
