Kumasi Girls SHS 1998 Year Group Supports Remar Ghana Rehabilitation Centre
Ahemaa ’98 Donates Food Items and Cash to Support Vulnerable Children and Recovering Drug Addicts in Kumasi
- Kumasi Girls SHS 1998 Year Group donated items and cash to Remar Ghana Rehabilitation Centre.
- The Centre cares for over 200 vulnerable children and recovering drug addicts.
- The donation formed part of Ahemaa ’98’s annual community support activities.
The 1998 Year Group of Kumasi Girls Senior High School, known as Ahemaa ’98, has extended support to inmates of the Remar Ghana Rehabilitation Centre at Patasi in Kumasi.
Remar Ghana Rehabilitation Centre currently cares for more than 200 inmates, including orphans, vulnerable children and individuals recovering from drug addiction.
The Centre relies largely on donations and goodwill from the public to provide food and basic necessities for its residents.
As part of its annual activities, the Ahemaa ’98 Year Group decided to include a charitable outreach alongside its usual end-of-year social gathering.
Members of the group, many of whom are mothers and caregivers, said the decision was inspired by a desire to support vulnerable children and individuals in need.
In 2025, the group made a donation to the Remar Rehabilitation Centre, and on January 3, 2026, they once again returned to extend further support.
Items donated included sacks of rice, cocoa powder, sugar, cartons of milk, washing powder, disinfectants, liquid soap, soft drinks, biscuits, toffees, as well as an undisclosed amount of money.
The donation was led by Ohemaa Abena Nyarko, who represented the Ahemaa ’98 Year Group during the presentation and spoke to Akoma News about the group’s commitment to giving back to society.
Receiving the items on behalf of the Centre, Nana Yaw, Secretary of the Remar Ghana Rehabilitation Centre, expressed gratitude to the Old Girls of Kumasi Girls Senior High School for remembering both the children and individuals undergoing rehabilitation.
He commended the group for visiting the Centre for the second time and encouraged other Old Students’ Associations to emulate the generous gesture shown by the Ahemaa ’98 Year Group.
