Issah Mahama, Principal Research Officer Copyright Office, Accra also encouraged the children to remain obedient, prayerful, and disciplined. He reminded them to pray for knowledge and success each day, while also praying for the benefactors who made the gesture possible.

The Founder of Race 4 Aid and Municipal Chief Imam of Adentan, Imam Mutawakil Abubakar, explained that the Back to School Project was designed to respond to the urgent needs of orphaned children who often face financial barriers that threaten their education.

“This initiative is not only about distributing school supplies; it is about investing in the future of Ghana, one child at a time,” he said. He stressed that the program aims to improve school attendance, nurture academic performance, and promote equal opportunities in education.
