The children in Obeng-Mim walk long distance for schooling, because there is no school in the community. Some of our children at Obeng-Mim are seen here, loaded into a cart for transport to school in the next town.

The Royal house has started a three-unit classroom block, which will accommodate about 200 pupils. We need support to complete it.

These children are our future! They are why we ask your help

 

 

Statement of His Royal Highness,
King Oheneba Nana Kwame Obeng II

"I am Commander-in-Chief.

We fought wars for territorial expansion to gain more land and resources for the use by the people. Sometimes we waged wars to control trade routes and gain access to important markets, while other wars were to secure the boundaries of the state.

Today, there are no more wars.

I therefore declared war on illiteracy, poverty, disease and unemployment to promote development in my Kingdom and beyond, calling for the needed support in this regard. "I am committed to fighting a different type of war in the 21st century, a war in the form of development."
