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

Meeting the below needs will help Lordina successfully complete the 2017 school year with peace and great joy and knowing that she has other who care for her that she is not alone: 2017 School year fees $590.00 School meals $300.00 School supplies $200.00 School Events $50.00 School Transport $200.00 Health Insurance and other Medications $150.00 Total: $1,490.00

Long-Term Impact

We strong believe that by hearing lessons of success from beneficiaries, a domino effect can take place across the community helping in promoting the importance of education. This will improve Lordina 's health and social conditions, attitude changes and increased self-esteem, an increased sense of belonging within the communities.
