Speaking with journalists, Swati Patel-Champion, Managing Director, Miswa Chemicals, stated that her company believes that the youth are the future leaders so the strong need to empower them through quality education.
She said she is aware of the Asantehene’s invaluable contributions towards the growth of education in Ghana since he ascended the Golden Stool so the donation of the books was to support the Asante King’s good works.

According to him, the donation would not be a nine-day wonder, assuring that Miswa Chemicals and Evergreen Limited would team up and make similar donations in the other regions of the country to help boost education.
