In Adaku Dawanu, in rural Ghana, many students arrive to school hungry and leave early. Your gift provides after-school snacks, learning support, and mentorship for 100+ children. These programs increase attendance, reduce teen pregnancy, and give kids a safe, inspiring place to learn and grow. A snack today builds a stronger tomorrow.
The students at Adaklu Dawanu SA Basic School face significant challenges. Lacking basic resources, many struggle with reading and math, with 50% of 5th and 6th graders unable to read. Attendance is low, averaging 60%, as students often miss school to help with farming. The dropout rate is 10%, with students leaving due to lack of parental care, teenage pregnancy, or the need to earn money for their families. These issues severely limit their educational and future opportunities.
This program will improve students' knowledge in reading and math through essential educational supplies and academic support. A nutritious snack program will keep students energized and serve as an incentive to attend. By offering a positive, engaging learning environment, the program will encourage consistent attendance and reduce dropout rates. This approach will help students stay in school, succeed academically, and ultimately break the cycle of poverty in the community.
This program will educate over 100 students, aiming to help them graduate from junior high and pursue high school. By providing essential academic support and resources, the program will empower students to break the cycle of poverty. As more students complete their education, the long-term impact will be significant, fostering greater opportunities for employment, economic stability, and community development. The program will uplift not just the students but the entire community.
