Help the Twins who dropped out of school to broken home but dreaming to become medical doctors
poverty at home necessitated Alhassan and Fuseini to sacrifice their lives by dropping out of school in 2019 to cater for their grandparents.

Twins, Alhassan and Fuseini aged 11 years who live at Kpaguri, in the Wa Municipal of the Upper West Region are confident to become doctors one-day despite being dropped out of school since 2019 over lack of parental care.
A Youth Activist and Development consultant Mr. Tahiru Lukman had broken the news that the twins were born and neglected by both parents.
They never had the opportunity to see their biological parents and have grown to know only their grandparents.
According to Mr. Lukman, they had never discussed what to wear for any festive occasion due to poverty at home.
The poverty at home necessitated Alhassan and Fuseini to sacrifice their lives by dropping out of school in 2019 to cater for their grandparents.
The twins were in Primary Four at Methodist Primary School and had to terminate schooling to help people sell yam to acquire money to cater for themselves and their grandparents.
This story was first reported to the Regional Department of Community Development by a concerned citizen who has known for redress but the twin's plight is yet to receive any support of elevation.
In Mr. Lukman’s narration, the twins live at Kpaguri, in the Wa Municipal.
He said the department of Community Development has since been liaising with the Municipal office of Social Welfare in order to get philanthropists and Non-Governmental Organizations to facilitate the twin’s education.
Per reports available from the Department of Community Development and Social Welfare no more is blamable for both children’s dropout rather, circumstances beyond their grandparents accounted for it.
The twins are now 11 years’ age without knowing who their parents are.
The fate of Alhassan and Fuseini is a matter that society must take responsibility for when the individual and the family failed, society must not also fail to act because that is the last resort to getting hope restored.
Their grandfather is not strong enough to provide food on the table and the boy’s father has not given the family a priority as he left them for more than a decade now.
Interestingly, the twins have a bigger dream of becoming medical doctors. A dream that is conditionally realistic if the children return back to the classroom.
The grandparents who feed only from hand to mouth are appealing to philanthropists and Non- Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to support the course of the children’s education to realizing their dreams.
They have equally raised concerns regarding issues of sustainability and are now appealing to stakeholders as a matter of urgency to reach out to them to get the twin brothers back to the classroom.
