Do you remember Grace (Adom)? My brilliant cousin and elementary school classmate who had to drop out of school and forfeit her dream of becoming a nurse due to financial barriers to educational access? In 2018, we worked together to raise funds to open TBGS, Ghana’s first all-girls rural preschool.
Today, TBGS has grown beyond preschool to upper primary, with 8 classes and 270 students overall! And through TBGS and your partnership, Adom's daughters now have an opportunity to change the narrative for generations yet unborn drastically.
What’s more? Adom now formally works as a full-time preschool attendant, providing opportunities for her daughters and other TBGS students, which she didn’t have as a child.
This is what makes us special as humanity: the magic of what we can do when we work together.
But we are not stopping here: we know that there are many “Adoms” out there in any of Ghana’s 1300 cocoa-growing communities, and those in Ivory Coast, and beyond...
And just as we did in 2018, we shall come together again, to ensure that with $455, any child admitted into TBGS will have every resource to achieve their fullest potential.
Let’s make this happen.
