Newage Group donates back-to-school items to Six Days Mission School

The 2025/2026 academic year began on a high note for pupils of Six Days Mission School at Okwenya as Newage Group hosted a colourful ‘Back-to-School’ Party for the school and donated a wide range of school essentials to the pupils to aid teaching and learning.

The donation, aimed at equipping the students for the year ahead while easing the financial burden on parents, included exercise books, storybooks, school bags and other learning supplies. The event also coincided with the birthday celebration of the Group’s Board Chair, WIlliam Akonnor Kotey, adding an extra layer of excitement for the pupils.

A key highlight of the event was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Newage Group and the Six Days Mission School to support the school with the needed infrastructure development to facilitate teaching and learning.

The first phase of the project, which is the construction of a fully furnished JHS Block, is already underway. The group also plans to spark pupils’ interest in agriculture through mentorship programmes and field visits to its operational sites to encourage them to view agriculture as both a business and a sustainable livelihood.

Speaking at the event, the Board Chair of Newage Group, Mr. William Kotey, reaffirmed their commitment to education and youth development. “At Newage, we believe education is the foundation for sustainable growth in our communities. By supporting these pupils with school essentials, we are not only investing in their future but also sowing the seeds of inspiration for the next generation of agripreneurs and leaders,” he said.

The Headmaster of Six Days Mission School, Mr. Lord Kwetey, also expressed his gratitude. “This is a significant moment for our school. Our pupils have received the necessary stationery items to start the year well. We are deeply grateful to Newage.”

The Corporate Services Manager of Newage, Beatrice Nortey, emphasised the wider scope of the initiative when she stated: “This reflects our wider CSR agenda. Beyond today’s donation, we are extending our back-to-school support to other communities in our operational areas.”

The students themselves shared their excitement. Ama, a JHS 2 student, said: “I’m so happy for the books and other stationery I received. It will help me in my studies, and the party was so much fun!”

Christian, another JHS student, added: “We are grateful to Newage for thinking about us. We will never forget this day.”

Through this initiative, Newage Group – comprising Newage Agric Solutions Ltd., Evivi Foods, Chi-Gaba, WeComm Agri-Media and Consultancy, and Newage Academy – has once again demonstrated its commitment to community development, proving that its impact goes beyond agriculture, to shaping brighter futures for young people.
