The Meet Kate Foundation will build a primary school, with sport and playground facilities in Ekwamkrom Ghana, providing quality education for 200 children in this small community. This school will focus on small class rooms and provide the children with computer classes. 20% of these children will be on a full scholarship. We have put several things in place to make this project sustainable, like a 6 acre cacao plantation and a poultry farm. This school will be self-reliant within 3-5 years.
