Object of the charity: To advance the education of pupils in Tamale, northern Ghana. When working in Ghana we were introduced to a remarkable school - the Gbewaa School in Tamale. There are around 400 eager children in attendance aged between 2 and 12. The school is an indispensible part of its community. Many children at the school are orphans or have lost a parent. With no outside funding, Jemilatu - the inspirational Headteacher - supports the school herself, however she is able to. She devotes herself to the school, firm in the knowledge that in the poorest parts of northern Ghana, education is the primary hope the children and the community in Tamale have to break their cycle of poverty. Jemilatu’s cause is a noble one. With the support of many philanthropists, Gift for Ghana successfully raised the funds as a small charity to build new classrooms for Gbewaa school. The benefit to Gbewaa school has been dramatic. Now we are developing our charitable activity and will become a charitable trust. We endeavour to provide water and electricity to the school as well as to facilitate a rich educational experience between two very different and remarkable schools. Rarely in life does a human being have a remarkable opportunity to positively change the life of another. Rarer still are the chances in life to positively revolutionise a community of people. Investment in this school will allow more children to benefit from the gift of literacy and education, provide opportunities to break the cycle of poverty and give hope to a new generation. On behalf of the staff and pupils of Gbewaa school, as well as the trustees, thank you!
