About The Founder

The Story

The world in every period produces exceptional individuals who would be difficult to replace, and whose thoughts and actions made a difference to their age. Mrs Joana Nana Akosua Dankwaa Kyei unquestionably belonged to that select group. She was not only a dignified royal lady, a great mother, and a dutiful wife, but a remarkable teacher. A true royal by birth, Nana Akosua Dankwaa, was born in Kumasi to the late Opanin Kofi Ahenkro, a successful transport owner from Ejuratia Mpobi and the late Nana Ama Saa of the Asante Oyoko royal family on Sunday, August 1,1937.It is pertinent to note that Nana Ama Saa is an elder sister of HM Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the current Asantehene.
