Help Clara go to pre-school in Ghana

A microproject by Paajaf Foundation
Help Clara go to pre-school in Ghana

Summary

Clara is 3 years old and a kind girl who smiles a lot. An education will be life-changing to Clara it will enable her to learn to read and write and give her a great future. Her parents lack the funds to send Clara to a good pre-school, they are seeking employment as an electrician and shop keeper. The local school is severely overcrowded and the cost of school fees and a uniform means Clara needs your help to go to school. Currently we have raised $190 of her budget of $1360.

Challenge

In the rural town of Gbawe, Ghana, there is only one free public school and it is extremely over-crowded with up to 65 students per class. High illiteracy and unemployment prevent many families from being able to afford other schools that charge fees and many children dropout to work. The literacy rate in Ghana is just 71.5% and huge gaps remain between literate men and women. Extreme poverty, illiteracy, and a lack of proper education trap many families in a cycle of deprivation.

Solution

Clara will learn to read and write, she will have a bright future and education that will be life-changing in this area! Clara needs to start school and you can help her with school fees, books, uniform, health insurance so that she can have a better life for herself.

Long-Term Impact

The project strives to provide quality education for the children in needs, to improve their health and social conditions, attitude changes and increased self-esteem, an increased sense of belonging within the communities.
