Kingsley Agyemang has made a personal donation of GH¢45,240 to the Kibi School for the Deaf
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Abuakwa South, Kingsley Agyemang, has made a personal donation of GH¢45,240 to the Kibi School for the Deaf (KIDEAF) to support the feeding of its students through the end of the third academic term.
The intervention comes at a critical time, as the school was facing a dire food shortage due to delayed and insufficient feeding grants from the government.
According to school officials, food supplies had completely run out, and suppliers—burdened by unpaid arrears—had refused to provide further credit.
The MP’s donation will fully cover the cost of breakfast, lunch, and supper for all 174 students from June 15 to July 31, 2025.
“This gesture is not just about food; it is about dignity, inclusion, and ensuring that every child, regardless of ability, can learn in a safe and supportive environment,” the MP said in a statement.
He also praised the dedication of the school’s management and the Municipal Director of Education, commending Kumah Cephas, the head of the school, for his leadership during the crisis.
“This is a moment for all of us to reflect on how we support Special Needs education in Ghana. We must do more—and do better—for our Special Needs schools,” the MP added.
The Kibi School for the Deaf, like many Special Needs institutions across the country, depends heavily on government support to provide essential services.
