Kevin Okyere Foundation steps in to save 9-year-old’s sight

A nine-year-old boy, Solomon, who should have been in school completing his first academic term, has instead spent weeks in and out of the Children’s Block Daycare Unit at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital battling a severe and debilitating eye infection that threatens his sight—and his life.

Solomon’s plight came to public attention through social media advocacy led by blogger Clinton Yeboah and his team. Following the appeal, the Kevin Okyere Foundation responded swiftly, committing GH¢40,000 to cover the full cost of Solomon’s impending surgery and post-operative care.

The donation was formally made on Thursday, November 11, 2025, through Solomon’s parents to the Lifeline for Childhood Cancer Foundation, which is supporting his treatment at Korle-Bu.

The timely intervention has brought renewed hope to Solomon’s family, easing the financial burden associated with his care and improving his chances of a successful recovery.
