The Faculty of Allied Health Sciences (FAHS) at the College of Health Sciences (CHS), Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), has extended a helping hand to nine (9) needy students within the faculty with the donation of food items. The presentation, held on 13th August 2025, marks an important step towards the University’s upcoming Food Bank Project aimed at supporting students in need.

 

The initiative was sparked by Mrs. Joana Joseline Hackman, College Counsellor for the College of Health Sciences, who identified the pressing needs of some students and presented a request to the University and Faculty for support. Through the collective generosity of FAHS management, staff, and other stakeholders, a substantial amount of money and food items were raised to assist the selected students.

 

 

During the presentation ceremony, Mrs. Benedicta Kwakye, Registrar of the Faculty of Allied Health Sciences, personally donated to the cause and delivered an inspiring address on behalf of the Dean, Professor Alexander Yaw Debrah, who also contributed significantly to the initiative. She encouraged the students to remain focused, work hard, and demonstrate academic improvement, assuring them of the Faculty’s continued support.

 

 

Mrs. Joana Joseline Hackman, in presenting the donations to the beneficiaries, expressed profound gratitude to the Management of FAHS, the College, and all other stakeholders who contributed. She noted that all other Schools and Faculties in KNUST should emulate this gesture and urged the students to excel.

The students, deeply moved by the gesture, conveyed heartfelt thanks to the Faculty’s leadership and donors, promising to apply the advice and support they had received to achieve greater academic success.

This act of kindness underscores FAHS's unwavering commitment to student welfare, academic excellence, and the creation of a nurturing environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive.
