Additionally, between 2019 and March 2023, he generously provided 4,000 textbooks to over 70 schools nationwide.
Mr. Asante’s dedication to giving back to the community is exemplified by his establishment of a modern Science and ICT Lab Complex with two offices at his alma mater, Akoase SDA Basic School in the Eastern Region.

In addition to his educational initiatives, the 2020 Ghana Best Teacher recipient has constructed a school in his community, offering quality education to school-going children.
