Businessman, philanthropist, and Chief Executive Officer of Justmoh Construction, Justice Amoh, has made a clarion call on Ghanaians to rally support for special needs schools across the country.
His appeal follows a generous donation he extended to the Twin City Special School at Essipong and the Catholic Special Vocational School at Fijai, both in the Western Region.
Special needs schools in Ghana continue to grapple with underfunding, inadequate infrastructure, limited teacher training, geographical disparities, and social stigma. Despite the government’s inclusive education policy, its implementation has been hampered by these challenges.
For the past 18 years, Justice Amoh has consistently supported such schools. This year, he donated a flour mixing machine to the Twin City Special School, along with bags of maize, beans, onions, rice, flour, sugar, tomato paste, milk, eggs, oil, water, soaps, and detergents. The students were also treated to a meal. A similar gesture was extended to the Catholic Special Vocational School.
According to Mr. Amoh, these donations are not acts of charity but a necessity. He urged individuals and institutions to replicate such efforts in order to ease the burden on these schools.
The Headteacher of the Twin City Special School, Madam Vincentia Bilson Sai, expressed gratitude for the sustained support from Justmoh Construction. She, however, used the opportunity to highlight pressing challenges facing the school, including the lack of a dormitory for girls, a pickup vehicle for running school errands, and accommodation for teachers. She appealed for broader assistance.
