Ja Rule has been keeping himself busy in the beautiful country of Ghana, where he recently announced plans to bring a new school to the Eastern Region. On April 10th, in collaboration with Pencils of Promise, the "Pain Is Love" rapper broke ground on a project that will provide a 6-classroom building to the Nuaso Anglican Basic School. This initiative aims to improve the education opportunities for children in kindergarten through sixth grade, who have been struggling with subpar learning conditions in makeshift classrooms.
The project is a joint effort between Ja Rule (also known as Jeffrey Atkins), his wife Aisha Atkins, and Pencils of Promise, working alongside the local government and community members. During the groundbreaking ceremony, Ja Rule expressed his gratitude and excitement for the future impact of this project, stating, "I know that this is going to be an opportunity that will last for many, many years to come. As I look around, I see a lot of beautiful students here from Nuaso Anglican Primary. And for me, education is the pillar of any community. And so, with that being said, Ghana, I appreciate you all. I thank you for accepting me as your brother."
Pencils of Promise is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing access to quality education for children all over the world. CEO Kailee Scales expressed their enthusiasm for partnering with Ja Rule on a project that will have a lasting impact. "Many children in rural parts of the world experience significant barriers to their basic human right to primary school education. PoP is so proud to partner with Ja Rule and Aisha Atkins in our shared commitment to help ensure every child has access to the safe, healthy and engaging school experience they deserve."
The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by over 500 community members and 50 dignitaries, including Lower Manya Krobo MP The Honorable Ebenezer Okletey Terlabi, MCE Lower Manya Honorable Simon Kweku Tetteh, and Mark Okraku-Mantey, Deputy Minister of Tourism. Ja Rule is just one of many celebrities investing in Ghana, joining the likes of Michael Blackson, who recently launched the "Michael Blackson Academy," and actor Idris Elba, who announced plans to build a film studio in the country. It is heartwarming to see influential figures using their platform to make a positive impact and contribute to the development of communities in Ghana.
