The Member of Parliament for Ahanta West, Mavis Kukuaa Bissue, has taken a major step toward easing the financial burden of higher education in her constituency, as her AyindaMaale Educational Trust Fund extends support to tertiary students across the area.
The initiative, launched last year, fulfills a key campaign promise made by the MP during the 2024 general elections.
It comes at a time when tertiary education, widely recognized as critical to shaping the future of individuals and communities, has become increasingly expensive due to rising costs of tuition, accommodation, learning materials, and research resources.
Through the Trust Fund, 150 students pursuing various disciplines, including Law, Medicine, Engineering, and the study of the Ahanta language, have received financial assistance.
The wide range of beneficiaries reflects a deliberate effort to promote both professional excellence and the preservation of local heritage.
Speaking at a brief ceremony to present the support, Madam Bissue underscored the importance of investing in education as a foundation for sustainable development.
She noted that producing skilled professionals from within the constituency is key to strengthening Ahanta West’s human capital and driving long-term progress.
Beneficiaries expressed gratitude for the timely intervention, describing the support as a significant relief that will cushion them against the financial pressures of tertiary education and allow them to focus on their studies.
