The Member of Parliament for South Tongu, Maxwell Kwame Lukutor, has donated school uniforms to about 150 underprivileged pupils across selected basic schools in the constituency as part of efforts to promote equitable access to education.
The intervention is aimed at supporting vulnerable children, restoring their confidence, and improving active participation in the classroom.
Mr. Lukutor explained that the beneficiaries were identified during a previous bicycle donation exercise conducted in partnership with TV3 Ghana, which targeted pupils who travel long distances to attend school within the constituency.
According to him, it was unacceptable for children to report to school in worn-out uniforms, noting that such conditions can negatively affect their self-esteem and learning experience.
The MP said the latest donation seeks to restore dignity among the pupils and create a more conducive learning environment.
Encouraging the beneficiaries to remain focused and determined, Mr. Lukutor reminded them that their circumstances should never define their future.
“As a proud product of Kpotame DA Basic School, I am living proof that with determination, discipline and opportunity, our children can compete with the best anywhere in Ghana and beyond,” he stated.
He reaffirmed that education remains a top priority under his leadership and pledged sustained support for initiatives that improve teaching and learning outcomes in South Tongu.
The lawmaker also appealed to associations, non-governmental organizations, and development partners to collaborate with his office to broaden opportunities for students in the constituency.
He stressed the need to strengthen social intervention programs and promote sustainable development initiatives that directly impact families and communities.
Mr. Lukutor expressed optimism that with collective effort, South Tongu can build a stronger, fairer, and more prosperous future anchored on quality education and equal opportunity.
