Eleven needy but brilliant students selected from the region have already benefited from the Fund for their secondary education.
Lieutenant General Peter Augustine Blay, Chief of Defence Staff, (CDS) and seven others made the presentation at separate functions held in the Western Region.
Presenting the various items, Lt General Blay noted that education is key to the country's development and that is the only way to equip children to face the future.
According to him, he wanted to be a role model to the children in the community so they could aim high on the academic ladder.
He said the Trust would be extending help to more deprived schools in the Nzemaland and urged the people of Nzema who are living in and outside Ghana to donate to the Fund.
The Nzema-Manle Traditional Council has enstooled Lt Gen. Blay as the "Nkosuohene" with the stool name Atwe Amgbo Komalove Blay following the immense role played by the CDS and his seven colleagues.
