Sakafia Islamic Senior High School’s pioneering initiative focuses on addressing food insecurity through sustainable agricultural practices. The aquaponics project, which combines aquaculture and hydroponics to grow food in a controlled, sustainable environment, not only contributes to food security but also promotes environmental conservation. Dr. Adutwum commended the project as a clear demonstration of how education can play a critical role in creating positive change in the environment and society.
“This remarkable achievement is proof of the dedication, creativity, and forward-thinking mindset of both the students and faculty of this esteemed institution,” Dr. Adutwum wrote. “The commitment to sustainability and the environment displayed by Sakafia Islamic Senior High School is a shining example for schools across the country and beyond.”
He went on to praise the school for making Ghana, and specifically Asanteman, immensely proud with this prestigious recognition. “Once again, congratulations to the entire school community. Your hard work and passion are an inspiration to us all.”
Sakafia Islamic Senior High School’s win at the Zayed Sustainability Prize further highlights the growing impact of Ghanaian institutions on the global stage and showcases the potential of young minds in addressing critical global challenges such as food security and sustainability.
