Dear friends, donors, and interested people,
Quality education in any part of Ghana is hard to come across but in rural areas such as El Mina it is almost non -existent. As a result many children don't progress academically or gain qualifcations/ pass exams which help them get jobs in the future so may be forced into crime or picked up and exploited by gangs. Being in school prevents this on a daily level by keeping them off the streets and in the classroom, and on a longer term level by giving them structure and goals to work towards such as passing exams - this provides a strong foundation for their future.
However due to slow funding, this project has been struggling significantly. As a result there isn't enough money to pay teachers so students come to class and sit in an empty room waiting for their teacher. This is a tragic situation but on the bright side, at least we have a school building; all we need to do now is gather consistent funds to employ teachers. Signing up for a monthly recurring donation, even a small one, would massively accelerate our progress towards this goal.
