Welcome to The Ghana Education Project
A Small Charity with Big Purpose!
We are a registered UK charity looking to support the development of education and associated infrastructure in Nkwanta, a deprived area of North East Ghana.
Our founder trustee Gill Norris has coordinated our efforts in Nkwanta on a voluntary basis since she moved to live there in June 2004. Gill was awarded the MBE for her work with young people both in Ghana and in the UK.
The charity works closely with local Ghanaian authorities and teaching groups in order to achieve our goals. We have initiated many schemes to improve the quality of education and resources.
To date the Project has:
- built the Kyabobo Centre, a Sports, Arts and Culture centre, the largest community venue in the region
- run training courses for teachers in English, Science and Maths and provided supporting resources.
- developed a literacy project to help Primary School pupils
- initiated the Nkwanta Award scheme.
- built and equipped a guest house for visiting volunteers/training staff and also paying guests (to generate income)
- organized container shipments from the UK of school, medical and sports equipment
- financed, restored and equipped buildings for educational resources and the local Wildlife Division
Our Ongoing and most ambitious aim is build, equip and launch a brand new School for Girls.
Donations are needed for current projects and can be made on www.justgiving.com and potentially qualify for gift aid tax relief.
