This project will build a school for children in Gbawe, Ghana, to provide education to improve their well-being and positively impact their families and the community. PAAJAF Foundation is a non profit organization whose main objective is providing free good quality education for children in the Gbawe region of Ghana. Educated children are better prepared to build a more prosperous future for themselves, their families, and their communities.

Challenge

The community in the Gbawe region of Ghana faces the following challenges in the education sector: There are only 27 public schools for a population of around 75,000, they are struggling to provide education for all children so this has resulted in overcrowded classes. Many children are unable to attend school due to a lack of family funds, which is getting worse due to the global coronavirus pandemic. In addition, the illiteracy rate is over 20%.

Long-Term Impact

Providing education to children in Gbawe will improve their well-being and positively impact their families and the community. Support for the project will improve the lives of children in Gbawe and give them hope for a better future.
