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 father of the physically challenged boy said he was not in a good place financially to buy all the items on the prospectus for his child.

Some of the items needed by 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.
