Daboase Senior High Technical School Launches Agricultural Initiative to Support School Feeding Program

Daboase, Western Region: In an inspiring move aimed at bolstering the school’s feeding program, Madam Irene Ampaw, the industrious Headmistress of Daboase Senior High Technical School, has initiated an agricultural project to cultivate the school’s land. This forward-thinking approach is designed to support the school's feeding program for the year, providing fresh produce directly from the school's farm to the dining hall.

The initiative is not only a step toward food security for the students but also a practical way to reduce costs associated with the school's meal provisions. By utilizing available land, the school is able to grow various crops that will contribute to the daily meals of students, ensuring that they receive nutritious food sourced locally from the school’s own farm.

The aim is to provide sustainable, healthy meals for our students while teaching them the value of agriculture and self-sufficiency," said Headmistress Irene Ampaw. "This initiative is not only about feeding the students but also about instilling a sense of responsibility and appreciation for the hard work that goes into producing the food they consume.

The project has garnered support from both the school’s staff and students, who are actively participating in the cultivation process. By involving the entire school community, the initiative also serves as an educational tool, offering students hands-on experience in agricultural practices and promoting environmental stewardship.

The Daboase Senior High Technical School's agricultural project is a model of how schools can take innovative steps to address challenges, such as feeding large student populations, in a sustainable and cost-effective manner. With the continued dedication of Headmistress Irene Ampaw and her team, the school is not only ensuring the well-being of its students but also setting an example for other educational institutions across the country.
