A better future starts with education.

In the Eastern part of Ghana there are not enough schools to educate the youth. Many children in the area live too far away or the finances of the parents are too limited for them to go to school. In 2013 C4H decided to build a primary school in Adawso to get the children of the streets and giving them a chance to develop themselves.

We believe a better future starts with education. We stimulate not only learning, but also creativity and social skills.

 

New classrooms

In 2015 Wings of Support donated money to build three brick classrooms for our Compassionate Kids School. In 2014 volunteers from the Fettes College, Edinburgh, have build a new brick classroom and the KOOK foundation from Alkmaar financed the realisation of two additional classrooms.We now have eight classrooms, a kitchen and sanitation.

Unemployment among youngsters in the Akuapem district is high.

In order to give them and their families a better future, C4H started an apprenticeship programme in 2012. So far 15 girls and 3 boys enrolled in the programme. Four girls and the three boys have graduated. After graduation we assist the students to continue their education or to set up their own business through a micro-credit. The girls all run their own business, as does one of the boys, another has become a teacher and the third has gone to college.
