Education
Latest Blog Posts
1. Education Shouldn’t Be a Luxury, It’s a Right
In Africa, and particularly in Ghana, the ability to access basic education is still a daily struggle for many families. According to a 2023 report by UNESCO, more than 98 million children in sub-Saharan Africa are out of school, and over 400,000 Ghanaian children between the ages of 6–16 are not attending school (UNESCO Institute for Statistics, 2023; Ghana Education Strategic Plan, MoE 2018–2030).
2. Crumbling Walls, Broken Futures: The Urgent Need for Safe Schools in Ghana’s Undeserved Communities
In many rural and underserved districts of Ghana, children arrive at school each morning not to classrooms, but to crumbling structures with leaking roofs, broken desks, and unsafe learning environments.
3. Empty Desks, Empty Promises: The Silent Crisis of Educational Supplies in Ghana’s Poorest Schools
In Ghana’s most deprived districts, teachers write on broken chalkboards, students share a single pencil among five, and libraries are empty shelves. Despite efforts by the government and NGOs, millions of children lack basic educational resources.
4. Forgotten Geniuses: The Untapped Potential of Africa’s Brightest Kids
In many corners of Africa—and especially in Ghana—some of the world’s most intelligent children walk to school barefoot, study under dim candlelight, and go to bed on empty stomachs. They ace their class tests, win spelling bees, and dream of becoming doctors, engineers, teachers, or astronauts. But far too often, those dreams are delayed or even destroyed by one unrelenting barrier: poverty.

2. Quenching the Thirst: Bringing Clean and Safe Water to Ghana's Water-Deficient Communities
In many parts of Ghana, the simple act of turning on a tap and pouring a glass of clean water is a luxury—not a given. For thousands of families in water-scarce communities, access to clean and safe drinking water remains a daily struggle, threatening their health, dignity, and livelihood.
