How schools are built
The schools are built through a self-help programme. They are constructed by the local community, using local materials. The whole village is in no doubt that the school belongs to them. A borehole, funded by the Trust, provides clean water for the school and is also available for the villagers to use.
The Trust is working closely with government, represented by the Ghana Education Services (part of the local District Assembly). The government fund the ongoing costs of teachers.
As well as the main school building, each school has a separate nursery. This allows the older children to concentrate on their studies without having to care for their younger siblings.
