The Management of KEK Insurance Brokers in Kumasi has made a passionate appeal to corporate bodies, institutions and individuals operating in the Kumasi Metropolis and its environs to actively support the development of educational infrastructure to complement the government’s desire of making formal education accessible to the youth.
According to the management, the need to support the government to provide educational infrastructure across the Kumasi Metropolis and its environs would enhance effective teaching and learning and thereby raise standards.
The Northern Sector Area Manager of KEK Insurance Brokers, Mr Charles Bennin, made the appeal when he presented a cheque for GH¢1,000 to the Otumfuo Education Fund.
The fund which was established by the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, when he ascended the Golden Stool, was to support brilliant, needy students in their academic pursuits.
Presenting the cheque, Mr Bennin commended Otumfuo Osei Tutu for his sense of initiative, which led to the setting up of the fund.
He explained that Otumfuo's initiative had opened many avenues for students who otherwise might not have dreamt of getting the opportunity to attend second cycle and tertiary institutions.
He said the donation, which was the second by KEK Insurance Brokers, would be a regular affair because it formed part of the company's corporate and social responsibility.
Mr Bennin said the company’s regular contribution would enable as many students as possible to benefit from Otumfuo Osei Tutu's gesture and, therefore, stressed the need for other companies to contribute generously to the fund to make it more sustainable.
