A Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Chemical Engineering student who received support to finance his education has obtained 7As in his second-semester examination.

His dream of furthering his education hunged in the balance despite earning stellar results in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

'A good man from here gave me money for his fees. Today, I sent him his results, and he instantly called me on the phone and cried during the conversation, but for him, this young man would still be roaming," she recounted.
