Program Details

Our goal is to create a sustainable, self sufficient, thriving school system on behalf of local and foreign volunteers, global student sponsorship, and sustainable on-site income. We also reciprocate aid to the local community in Shea Butter production and Cashew Nut production, as a way to give back to those that support their community.

All of these factors play into our ethos as a sustainable volunteer program, in which we expect our volunteers to not only teach our students, but to give back to the community. With our local friends and supporters, this opportunity reaches far beyond our local school, but into Ghana as a whole.
