Kind Ghanaian Man Helps 2 Needy But Brilliant Students Gain Admission To KNUST

• The story of how two KNUST recent graduates struggled to raise funds to support their education prior to university has been recently shared online
• Kofi Asare revealed that Ali, a young Ghanaian boy, completed SHS and gained admission to KNUST Medical but had to decline due to a lack of money
• A lady identified as Priscilla also found herself in a similar situation, but thankfully, she along with Ali were helped by Kofi Asare to raise funds for school

Kofi Asare, a compassionate Ghanaian man, has become a guardian angel to two Ghanaian youth who excelled in secondary school but did not have the means for university education.

In a Facebook post, Kofi recounted that some years back, he got introduced to a brilliant young man called Ali, who had successfully completed secondary school and gained admission at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. Unfortunately, the death of his father, coupled with a lack of finance, caused him to pick up a job as a labourer to raise funds.

Around the same time, Kofi met another brilliant young mind, Priscilla, who also found herself in a similar situation and needed help.

Although he added a burning desire to help the young man and woman, he was unfortunately laid off at work and hence could not help by himself. However, Kofi got the idea to share Ali and Priscilla's stories on social media and had people reach out to support them.

Thankfully, the two re-applied to KNUST, went through their education and successfully graduated with a bachelor's degree in Electrical and Petroleum Engineering. Kofi Asare went ahead to thank all who helped see the two through school.

The post sighted by YEN.com.gh on the Facebook page of Kwaku Ambassador had Kwesi recounting that he sat for the WASSCE exams and successfully passed with 7As and 1B3 in 2020, but he has had to resort to working as a 'trotro' mate and pure water seller to survive after completing.

The young man narrated that his father was brought down with a stroke right after completing school, and since he was the only breadwinner in the family, Kwesi had no option but to forget about going to school and picking up a job at Sefwi Bekwai to survive.
