Fund A School to Teach Homeless Children in Ghana

We aim to have a school that has good resources and teaching standards to provide a good basic primary education to over 300 local students.Ghana is struggling and for those communities outside the city and more rural the situation is even worst. One school we work with started out with a passionate headteacher responsible for a building (school) that has no power, no doors or windows. With limited stationery and furniture and staff underpaid they don't show up it is a real battle to keep a school going every day but the students still arrive every day and sit and wait.

Our project is working to help fund the local schools and build sustainable income generation for them to succeed and teach the children.

It costs $20 per day to pay on teacher thank you for your support.

Hey everyone, Ty here!

I’m reaching out today with a mission that is close to my heart. When I first visited our school in Ghana, I didn't see a "school" in the way we usually think of one. I saw a brick shed with holes for windows, no furniture, and just a single dusty blackboard.

Yet, there were 20 kids sitting on the floor every single day, desperate to learn, even though a teacher rarely made it to them. That image has never left me. I sat with them heard their stories and I ended up dusting off my teaching skills from years ago and we had a really great day of lessons together.

Where we are right now We aren't just sitting by. We’ve been working with the community to get teacher training programs up and running, turning local adults into the educators those kids deserve. We’ve already seen some amazing wins including our "Coast-to-Coast" bike challenge where we rode 25km and did three beach cleanups along the way. That ride, combined with your incredible $1,177 in donations, has kept the doors open so far.

But we need to do more. We’ve reached the point where we need to buy desks, chairs, and proper teaching tools so that when our trained teachers arrive, they have the environment to actually teach.

The Plan To be totally transparent: Ghana has been a tough one to fundraise for, and we’re at a crossroads. We’ve committed to another 6 months to make this work, and I’m personally heading out there to roll up my sleeves with the team and the community. I’m determined to find a way to get these kids the education they’re fighting for.

How you can help us kick-start the next chapter I’m asking for a huge favor. If you’ve enjoyed being part of this journey, would you mind sharing this project with your work friends, family, or your network? We need to get this story in front of more people.

We have a massive opportunity to do exactly that: The Little by Little campaign is almost here! From March 17th – 20th, GlobalGiving is 50% matching all donations up to $50, while matching funds remain.

• A $50 donation from you turns into $75 for us.

• It’s the perfect way to turn a small gift into a pile of desks, chairs, and teaching tools.

Even if you can’t donate, sharing the link during those four days is just as valuable. Let’s show these kids that the world hasn't forgotten them. We’re going to get this done together!

Stay awesome,
