Prempeh College is one of the most prestigious and highly sought-after senior high schools in Ghana.

In a video posted on TikTok by Amaro Shakur, a youth activist, Alajohn, sitting in a wheelchair, appealed to the general public for financial assistance to continue his education at Prempeh College.

The physically challenged boy's father said he was not well enough and his level of income could not enable him to buy all the items listed on the prospectus for his child.

Some of the items needed for Alajohn to take up his place at Prempeh College included a mattress, trunk, and textbooks among others.

"I have completed school and gained admission to Prempeh College. but we don't have money to buy the items on the prospectus. I need a mattress and trunk, so please help me," he pleaded.
