Our CEO, Rhoda Agilinko, founded Homeland Ghana Educational Foundation after returning to her hometown in Ghana’s Upper East Region in 2017. What she encountered there, schools operating with limited facilities and resources, shaped the direction of the organisation from the very beginning.
What started as an effort to support a single school has since grown into work alongside more than 30 basic schools across the region, reaching thousands of children. The focus has remained practical and grounded: access to textbooks, uniforms, and sanitary pads, alongside safer, more supportive learning environments where children are able to engage fully and learn with confidence.
Recently, Rhoda’s journey and the work of Homeland Ghana were featured by Peace First, highlighting the communities involved, the initiatives underway, and the values that continue to guide the organisation’s approach to education.
Reflecting on the story being shared widely, Rhoda says:
“I’m humbled that this story is reaching such a wide audience. It reinforces that many of us care about improving basic education together.”
The feature offers a broader look at how consistent, community-centred efforts can shape educational experiences over time.
