A Word From Our Founder
“When I came home to Ghana in 2017, I visited community schools in the Builsa North. What I saw broke my heart.
Classrooms were overcrowded. Resources were scarce. And many children were not learning well. I couldn’t look away. So I started Homeland Ghana to change that.
Seven years later, Homeland Ghana is helping more children stay in school, learn better, and earn the basic education certificate that opens doors to work and life.”
— Rhoda Apent, Founder & CEO
Rhoda was honoured with the Social Entrepreneurship Award at Ghana’s 25 Under 25 Awards and nominated at the Ghana Youth Awards in 2022.
She’s also the author of In the East: A Journey Across the Country, a travel book on Ghana’s Upper East region. All proceeds go to support our school workshops.
