Dr Mrs Vera Beyuo, wife of the Member of Parliament for Lambussie, Titus Beyuo, has begun distributing about 500 free school uniforms to girls across the constituency as part of efforts to promote school attendance and support girls’ education.
The first phase of the exercise was held at Hamile DA Junior High School, with pupils from Buli DA Primary School, Koro DA Primary School, Sina Dindee, Kongor and Gbingbaala DA Primary School also benefiting.
The initiative will continue at Lambussie DA School and Zumara DA School before being extended to other schools across the constituency.
Speaking during the presentation, Dr Beyuo said the intervention was aimed at reducing the financial burden on parents and addressing some of the barriers that prevent girls from attending school regularly.
“We believe no girl should miss school because she does not have a proper uniform. Education is one of the most powerful tools for transforming lives, and we remain committed to supporting our young girls to achieve their dreams,” she said.
Headteachers and teachers from the beneficiary schools described the initiative as timely support for families facing financial difficulties. They said the uniforms would boost pupils’ confidence and encourage regular school attendance.
Some beneficiaries also expressed appreciation for the support, saying the new uniforms would motivate them to concentrate on their studies.
Organisers said the initiative forms part of a broader effort to promote girls’ education in the Lambussie Constituency, with more schools expected to benefit in subsequent phases.
