Why Education?
The challenges
The Government of Ghana has worked hard to improve education and make the country a “learning nation.” In 1995, they introduced free basic education for all children, increasing school attendance and offering equal opportunities for boys and girls. However, in the Builsa North region, students still face challenges like overcrowded classrooms, limited books and materials, and poor sanitation facilities.
We work with over 30 schools in four communities, with support from the District Office of the Ghana Education Service and the Social Welfare Department.
We organise workshops, provide training, and supply resources to help students stay in school and earn their basic education certificates, which are key to future opportunities.
Why Basic Education?
Reading and Writing Skills
Basic education enables reading and writing, essential for daily life, allowing individuals to read materials, understand signs, and perform tasks independently.
Express Views and Opinions
Basic education helps people share their thoughts through writing, videos, and letters, making communication clear and easy.
Communication Skills
Basic education teaches how to communicate well, including speech and body language, and helps with tasks like writing emails and using smartphones.
Increased Opportunities
Basic education is essential for further studies and career opportunities. Without it, children may have fewer chances to succeed.
Imagine a world where words lose their meaning, decisions are made without understanding, and independence feels out of reach. Education is the key to thinking clearly, making informed choices, and understanding the world.
