WHAT WE DO
Access to higher education
Girls Education Support provides scholarships and stipends to young women in Ghana who have completed high school with good grades but lack funds for higher education. With only 12% of girls in rural areas accessing higher education and a dropout rate of nearly 30%, financial barriers limit their opportunities. Our initiative covers tuition and living expenses, allowing them to focus on their studies. So far, we’ve supported 150 women, and aim to support 20 more in the 2024/2025 academic year.
School Sanitation project
School Sanitation Project provides essential sanitation facilities, including toilets, urinals, cupboards, dustbins and wash station to rural schools in Ghana. We have built 20 urinals in 20 rural schools, significantly improving the quality of life for over 6,000 staff and students. Additionally, we supplied cupboards and dustbins to enhance classrooms and environments. We hope to build 20 more urinals in 20 new communities, achieve our mission to create healthier, safer learning environment.
Partner abuse project
We aim to build Ghana’s first women-led Domestic Violence Shelter in the Volta Region to offer protection, rehabilitation, and empowerment to survivors of domestic and partner abuse. Domestic Violence and Partner Abuse Project, initiated in partnership with a lecturer from Ball State University (USA), has organised impactful forums, trained police officers in trauma-informed victim response, and conducted community sensitisation programs. Now, we are building a shelter to provide safety for all.
Upwards Bound Seminar
We organise seminars for students in Junior and Senior High Schools dabbed “Upwards Bound for Excellence Seminar.” We use this wonderful platform to connect students to young achievers thriving in their various fields of work despite their humble beginnings for mentoring. This is to keep students in school and motivated to work hard and reach their dreams.
Lit for life
Lit for Life empowers children in rural Ghana and the DRC through books, reading and creative writing clubs, writing seminars, and competitions. The best student stories are published into anthology donated to rural schools in both countries. Proceeds from the book sales support the kid author’s education and our Scholarship Project, helping more children access higher education. Lit for Life nurtures literacy, creativity, and confidence, while inspiring children to stay in school and dream big
Teenage Mothers Support
Supporting the reentry of teenage mothers to school is our way of restoring hope and giving young mothers a second chance live their dreams. We see a great opportunity for these girls to provide a better life and upbringing for their children.
