Let's delve into the details of this inspiring story.
Benjamin Darko's exceptional performance in the 2021 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) caught the attention of many. Despite scoring 5A's and 3B's, Benjamin faced financial obstacles that hindered his desire to pursue a medical-science related course at the university level.
