Boost The Learning and Education of Kids in Ghana

Dear Project Supporters,

Your support is truly making a difference for future leaders in Ghana. With your support students are continuing to get an education and a nutritious meal at school.  This school year there were 18 students that took the basic examination to start senior high school next school year.

The school expressed their gratitude for the support they have received this school year. With your support, more kids will have access to education and therefore greater opportunities and be better positioned to contribute to the community and national development.

The school also expressed how grateful they would be for continued support so that they can provide healthy meals, transportation, and school support to the students at the Kissinger School.  Their school bus which is used to transport over 100 kids to and from school daily has broken down, which has made it impossible for the children, as young as 5 years old, to get to the school.

The Kissinger school is working to raise enough funds to replace the bus so the students don’t need to miss any more school. We encourage you to consider starting a monthly recurring donation here to help the Kissinger School have the funds needed to continue their programs.  Even a few dollars a month will go a long way.  Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.

With great appreciation,

Dear friends,

The kids at the school in Ghana that we are supporting are super thankful for your support of their educational progress. They are also grateful for the opportunity to have an accessible school.

This means a lot to them in a region where many kids do not go to school. Hundreds of kids are involved in child labor, in fishing, mining and other areas.

That said, they are also very hopeful that their conditions at the school will improve. As you can see from the photos, one of the classrooms is a ramshackle, rickety shed. The students are exposed to the elements and some of them get wet when it is rainy and windy. The tumbledown structure also provides a teacher's common hall.

We certainly would not want our kids to learn in this environment. We are confident that you would not want your kids to learn here too! The teachers also deserve a better common space. 

Imagine learning or teaching in this environment! You can deduce that the quality of learning here is less than optimal.

We estimate that it would cost around $6200 to build a new classroom building. Let's together give these kids a conducive environment.

Thanks so much for your kind assistance and continued support for these deserving children in Ghana.  We encourage you to consider starting a monthly recurring donation here. Even a few dollars a month will go a long way. Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.  

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.

Warm regards,
Sylvester and the Develop Africa team
