ACCRA – Former Ghanaian Ambassador to Serbia and Montenegro, Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, has urged youth scholarship beneficiaries to remain disciplined, focused, and dedicated to their academic pursuits.
Addressing a new cohort of the Relief and Aid International (RAI) Scholarship Student Awardees in Accra, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe emphasized the importance of humility and hard work. He challenged the students to constantly reflect on their humble beginnings and their future aspirations to avoid losing their way.
“Study diligently to excel in life,” Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe advised. “Remember where you were before these scholarships and where you want to be. Work hard and if you fail to do so you won’t get anywhere at all.”
Founded six years ago by senior medical practitioner Dr. Peggy Naa Ayikailey Adamafio, Relief and Aid International has steadily expanded its philanthropic footprint, supporting a total of 62 students to date. The 15 new beneficiaries for the 2026–2027 academic Year are pursuing various undergraduate degree programs – including Law, Medicine, Pharmacy, Accountancy, Agricultural Science, Communications, and Administration – at the University of Ghana and the University of Media, Arts and Communication (UNIMAC).
The mentorship session with Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe, a trained medical doctor, aimed to inspire academic resilience and instill a strong sense of civic duty and patriotism, encouraging the scholars to give back to society upon graduation.
Speaking on behalf of their peers, two of the beneficiaries expressed profound gratitude to Madam Peggy Adamafio and the foundation, pledging that the cohort would maintain high academic standards and successfully complete their respective programs.
In addition to its flagship educational scholarships, Relief and Aid International executes broader social intervention initiatives, including monthly welfare packages for the aged, the provision of potable water systems for deprived communities and business capital support for less-income families.
