The Wisdom and Intelligence Training School (The WIT School), the first and only Finland Model School in Ghana and West Africa, has commemorated its fifth anniversary with the establishment of the WIT Endowment Fund (WEF).
The fund aims to provide support to underprivileged students across Ghana, bridging the financial gap and enabling them to achieve academic success.
The school's founder, Precious Bonsu, established the endowment fund to assist enthusiastic and brilliant students from disadvantaged backgrounds in pursuing higher education.
The WEF will encompass four categories of support: the Genius Scholarship program, which fully or partially funds exceptional students at The WIT School; the Edufund, providing aid to needy students in other schools; TKN weekend community projects; and the Rural STEM Project, which focuses on impacting children outside the capital.
The WEF, led by the school's brand ambassador, Chichi Yakubu, owner of Nyo Nyo Gh, will receive funding from a donor group, fundraising activities, and a percentage of The WIT School students' school fees. This initiative aims to make a significant difference in the lives of young learners.
Since its inception, The WIT School has empowered minds, nurtured talents, fostered creativity, and witnessed remarkable transformations in over 500 young learners.
Miss Bonsu emphasised that the school serves as a sanctuary of learning, innovation, and inspiration, encouraging students to explore their unique potential and embrace their individuality.
Reflecting on this milestone, Miss Precious expressed an unwavering commitment to excellence and highlighted the school's exceptional faculty members' dedication to shaping future leaders.
She also expressed gratitude for the continuous support from the community and The WIT School's enthusiasm for the journey ahead.
The WIT School has fostered a vibrant community that values diversity, collaboration, and a shared passion for knowledge.
As the school looks toward the future, there are plans to expand to include middle and high schools and establish additional centers to serve children in various communities nationwide and across Africa.
As part of its corporate social responsibility, the school is committed to ensuring that all Ghanaian children receive a holistic education akin to that provided to The WIT School students.
Initiatives include extending teacher professional development programs to other schools to improve the quality of education and the ongoing efforts of the WEF to support bright yet disadvantaged children in schools and rural communities.
