Mohammed Kudus Donates Books and Sports Kits to Nima Basic 1, Inspires Students to Embrace Education

On Monday, June 30, 2025, Ghanaian football star Mohammed Kudus returned to his alma mater, Nima Basic 1 School in Accra, with a heartfelt mission to give back to the community that shaped his beginnings. As part of his ongoing #KudusDream initiative, the West Ham United midfielder donated educational materials and football kits to the students, in partnership with global footwear brand Skechers.

The event, dubbed the “Kudus Mohammed School Homecoming Visitation,” was marked by excitement and pride, as students and teachers warmly welcomed the star who once sat in their classrooms.

“This is where everything started for me,” Kudus said. “Coming back here isn’t just about giving back it’s a reminder to these kids that it’s possible. I was once one of them.”

Reflecting on his journey from Nima Basic 1 to international stardom, Kudus shared how his early education laid the foundation for his success. He encouraged students to find a balance between their studies and their passions.

“I started just like most of you studying here while chasing my dream of playing football,” he explained. “But even in football, education is vital. You need to understand your contracts, speak well in interviews, and know how to engage with people.”

Kudus emphasized that education is not confined to academics; it equips individuals with essential life skills, even in fields like professional sports. He expressed deep gratitude for the support and love he received from the school and the community throughout his journey.

“This gesture is just my way of showing appreciation for the support and education that brought me this far,” he added.

In his closing remarks, Kudus urged the students to take their studies seriously, regardless of the careers they hope to pursue.

“Whatever job you want to do, the foundation is education. I just want to encourage you all take it seriously. I love you all, and thank you for the amazing reception.”

Kudus’ visit to Nima Basic 1 is more than just a donation; it serves as a powerful reminder that with education, passion, and perseverance, dreams can become a reality.
