Born 39 years ago in Agyapomaa, a small village in the Abuakwa South Constituency of Ghana’s Eastern Region, Andrews Kwame Perprem’s life story is one of extraordinary resilience, determination, and purpose.
Raised by his maternal great-grandmother under extremely difficult conditions, Andrews experienced hardship from a very young age. Between the ages of 5 and 12, he worked tirelessly to survive—farming, foraging for wild kola nuts and mushrooms, and fishing just to feed himself.
He walked barefoot to school, often on an empty stomach, and lacked even the most basic school supplies. At times, he sat on the bare floor to learn, in a system where pupils were expected to provide their own furniture.
Yet, even in the face of such adversity, Andrews stood out. Quiet but exceptionally brilliant, he consistently ranked first in his class. Education became his refuge and his hope.
His life took a turning point after the passing of his great-grandmother shortly after his 12th birthday, when he moved to Accra to live with his father. Though placed two classes behind his level, Andrews refused to be discouraged.
Within just a few months of intense study and discipline, he rapidly improved, rising through the ranks to become one of the top students in his class. Soon after, he achieved an incredible milestone—placing first out of 118 candidates in a competitive entrance examination, effectively skipping an entire academic year.
This pattern of excellence continued.
Andrews went on to become the overall best student in his school in the 2004 BECE examinations. His leadership potential also began to shine, as he served as Senior Boys Prefect.
At Adonten Secondary School in Aburi, Andrews once again distinguished himself—not only academically but as a leader—serving as both Senior Boys Prefect and President of the School Representative Council (SRC).
Driven by an unshakable commitment to education and service, he pursued higher education with distinction. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Integrated Business Studies, an MPhil in Development Studies from the University for Development Studies (UDS), an MSc from the University of Antwerp, and another Master’s degree from the prestigious KU Leuven in Belgium.
Professionally, Andrews has served as a Teaching and Research Assistant at UDS and later as a Lecturer at the University of Education, Winneba. His passion for development and community impact led him to establish Drewperp Consult Limited, Drewperp Financial Services, and Save the Mining Communities–Ghana—organizations dedicated to empowering lives and creating sustainable opportunities.
His commitment to leadership and service extends beyond Ghana.
In Belgium, he has been a pillar of the Ghanaian student community, serving for over five years as Secretary of the National Union of Ghana Students–Belgium. In this role, he worked closely with the Ghana Embassy in Brussels and other stakeholders to improve the welfare of Ghanaian students. He has organized numerous seminars, symposia, and leadership programs that have impacted many lives.
Politically, Andrews is a dedicated and results-oriented leader.
He is the visionary behind United Belgium for Bawumia (UBB), a dynamic movement mobilizing support and resources for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. Currently serving as the Acting Secretary of the NPP Antwerp Chapter, his track record speaks for itself—marked by innovation, organization, and tangible results.
Beyond his professional and political life, Andrews is a philanthropist, a development consultant with over 15 years of experience, and an accomplished author with more than 15 scientific publications.
