Education
Did you know Ghana spends proportionally more on education than the UK, but poverty still prevents some of its children from going to school? Although officially free, basic school presents additional costs, starting with shoes and uniform (up to 90 cedis or around £15 – a significant sum for people lacking any disposable income). As a result, in families, sometimes only some children have the chance to go to school. The others, generally the girls, stay at home and perform domestic tasks.
Change For Ghana aims to bridge the gap between the additional costs that creates an obstacle for a child's education. Through your help and support, we aim to provide basic educational needs such as:
i) Provision of School Uniform, Stationary, Text Books, Teaching Aids & Materials and ICT facilities.
ii) Maintenance of selected school grounds and sports areas.
We also aim to promote awareness of:
i) Sexual education (more than 290k adults and children living with HIV/AIDS)
ii) Sickle Cell awareness
This will help educate and also mitigate the issue of unemployment in our community.
