Wesley Girls’ High School 2004 Year Group Launches Fundraising for 2026 Speech Day and Legacy Project

The 2004 year group of Wesley Girls’ High School has launched a major fundraising campaign ahead of their hosting of the school’s 2026 Speech Day and Legacy Project. The launch took place on April 23, 2025, at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel in Accra, with strong support from alumni and invited guests.

At the event, the group introduced their Patron, Madam Araba Botchway (née Middleton-Mends), an alumna from the Class of 1984. Madam Botchway is the Director of Admissions and Financial Aid at Ashesi University and leads the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Programme. With over 20 years of experience in education and youth development, she is expected to guide and inspire the group throughout their preparations.

Known as the “Fantastic Fours,” the 2004 year group chose the theme “FOURtified, Unstoppable Together” to reflect their unity and commitment to excellence. Speech Day at Wesley Girls’ High School is a cherished tradition that celebrates academic success and the strong sisterhood among alumni. In recent years, it has also become a popular cultural event across Cape Coast and social media.

The launch was attended by several high-profile guests, including:

• Mr. Nana Sarfo, CEO of Bora Capital Advisors
• Ms. Perpetual Ofori-Ampofo, President of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association
• Ms. Freda Donkor, CEO of FH Depot Company Ltd
• Mr. Yaw Ackonor of GNPC
• Hon. Hassan Tampuli, MP for Gushiegu
• Dr. Richard Yeboah Asante, CEO of Afrah International Hospital
• Dr. Esi Ansah of Ashesi University and the Constitutional Review Committee
• Mr. Charles Owusu Ansah, CEO of Charusa Ltd

Alumni from various year groups, including 1964, 1974, 1984, 1994, 2002, 2003, 2005, and 2014, were present. Representatives from other schools such as Mfantsipim, Mfantsiman Girls’, and Achimota School also attended in a show of solidarity.

In addition to organizing the 2026 Speech Day, the group is also undertaking a Legacy Project. Their goal is to furnish the first floor of a new Resource Centre at the school, which will provide modern teaching and learning spaces to promote innovation and collaboration.
