Theme: Children
Country: Ghana [View country profile] info
Sponsor: GlobalGiving
Project duration: 1 Year

Project's focus area: Education Library
Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Children attend school without texts and have nowhere to study independently during and after school. They cannot do their homework at home because there may only be one lantern for the family. The library thus will serve as the resource center for 1,500 primary and middle students at Mprumem, Simbrofol, Otsow-Jukwa, and Onyadze, during and after school hours. The library will help students avoid idleness during school breaks and avoid youthful indiscretions.

Activities
Students and the public will be taught the use and benefits of a library. Teachers will assign homework here. Students will read and report on books. Educational films will be shown and projects will be assigned at the library.
Expected Outcomes
The library will serve as the resource center for students because it is the only library of its kind in the Gomoa district of 200,000. Mprumem's proximity to the main highway to the capital, Accra, makes it easily accessible to all.
Project Message
As a professor, I testify to the value of a good education. Thus I extend the educational opportunities that I got in the United States to my people by providing them with the educational tools.
