In Nyankumasi, a village in the Upper Lower Krobo District of Ghana’s Eastern Region, a simple encounter turned into a powerful moment of hope and compassion.
While touring rural communities to document untold stories, media personality and humanitarian Kobby Kyei met four young boys walking to school without school bags.
Moved by their situation, Kobby Kyei and his team stopped and surprised the boys with BoysLivesMatter branded school bags.

This thoughtful gesture supported their education and reminded them that every boy matters. Though small in appearance, the bags symbolized dignity, encouragement, and the reassurance that they are seen and valued.
This moment forms part of Kobby Kyei’s ongoing rural community tour across the Eastern Region, where he is intentionally visiting underserved communities like Nyankumasi to document real stories of resilience, struggle, hope, and humanity that often go unnoticed.
Beyond content creation, Kobby Kyei’s work is driven by advocacy and impact. Through the BoysLivesMatter initiative, he continues to highlight the challenges boys face, especially in marginalized areas, while promoting balanced care, inclusion, and opportunity for every child.
For the four boys of Nyankumasi, the gesture was more than a donation. It was motivation and a reminder that their dreams are valid. And for the community, it was proof that kindness and attention can spark lasting inspiration.
As Kobby Kyei continues his journey from village to village, one truth remains clear. These rural communities may lack many basic resources, but they overflow with warmth, gratitude, and love.
Through storytelling and action, he is not just documenting lives. He is touching them.
