Nana Ama Nyaakowaa II, the Queen-mother of Mpesi Daadze in the Abura, Asben, and Komankesaa (AAK) areas of the Central Region, has called on the government to reduce the high taxes on sanitary pads.

She thanked everyone who has supported her mission to make teenage pregnancy a thing of the past in Mpesi Daadze.

One of the beneficiaries, Nana Christabel Opoku, expressed heartfelt gratitude on behalf of all the students.

 She thanked the Queen- mother for her generosity and prayed for blessings on her behalf, acknowledging the significant impact of the donation.

The Headmaster of the school, Mr. Stephen Otoo, also expressed his appreciation for the Queen- mother's efforts. 

He wished for long life and continued support from Nana Ama Nyaakowaa II and her benefactors, hoping they would continue to aid the school in even greater ways in the future
