Mrs Abba-Opoku described the partnership between her organisation and Street Academy as productive, noting that since 2019, the collaboration has led to the construction of a washroom and a health post.

She added that children at the academy were also benefiting from literacy programmes, including a reading club run by the organisation.

According to her, the organisation was committed to sustaining the partnership by engaging like-minded individuals and introducing impactful initiatives to transform the lives of the children.

She further appealed to corporate organisations, philanthropists, and other stakeholders to support the work of Street Academy.

The Senior Advisor at the Office of the Ga Mantse and Lifetime Patron of Street Academy, Mr Nii Boi Abbey, commended the founder of Street Academy, Dr Ataa Lartey, for his dedication over the past three decades.

Mr Abbey pledged the support of the Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, through his foundation, to help improve the lives of the children and provide them with needed healthcare.
