Our Context
In 1995, Ghana introduced free basic education, improving children’s access to school and giving boys and girls equal learning opportunities. Basic education is for children aged 4 to 15, yet in rural areas like Builsa North, some Junior High students are still as old as 18.
Despite the progress, challenges remain:
Overcrowded classrooms
Shortage of books and supplies
Poor sanitation and inadequate school facilities
We partner with over 30 schools across four Builsa North communities, supported by the District Ghana Education Service and the Department of Social Welfare. Through teacher training, workshops, and essential resources, we help students complete basic education and earn their Basic Education Certificate, improving access to opportunities for work and life.
Why Basic Education?
Literacy
It starts with reading and writing, life skills that open up the world.
Self-Expression
Education helps children share their ideas with confidence, in letters, videos, and conversations.
Communication
From emails to body language, education teaches us how to connect and be understood.
Opportunity
Without basic education, children are often left behind. With it, they can dream bigger and go further.
Imagine a world where words don’t make sense, decisions happen without understanding, and freedom feels out of reach. That’s a world without basic education.
