Yvonne Okoro Pays Fees For Needy Students.
Actress Yvonne Okoro has promised that she will be offering a supporting hand to needy but brilliant students as part of her charity organisation, Elizabethan Scholarship Scheme, this year.
“Glad to announce that this year my charity org Elizabethan Scholarship Scheme will be paying some fees of students in various schools,” she said.
However, she didn’t indicate when she will begin the sponsorship programme.
But her announcement attracted a lot of retweets, with many people thanking and congratulating her bold decision to support ‘struggling’ students.
The school fees paying project follows Yvonne’s annual charity campaign.
In April 2016, Yvonne Okoro won the love and respect of the people of Wungu in the Walewale community of the Northern Region, where she commissioned a borehole project to provide water for the town.
Natives, including school children, walk several kilometres in search of water daily.
I hope this project will go a long way to impact positively on the lives of the people of Wungu, especially the children and women,” she said when she commissioned that project.
Previous years, she did other charity works, including building a playground for underprivileged children at the Dzorwulu Special School in Accra.
