OUR PROJECTS
PROJECT 1: Abura Kids International School​​
​
Quality early childhood education is essential for laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning and development. However, many children in underserved communities in Ghana lack access to such education. The Hope Academy International School Early Childhood Center will focus on implementing a rigorous, standards-based curriculum that promotes critical thinking and social-emotional learning. Teachers will receive comprehensive training to ensure they can deliver effective, engaging, and developmentally appropriate instruction. Additionally, the school will be equipped with the necessary resources to create a conducive learning environment.
​​PROJECT 3: Mobile Library
​
In many parts of Suhum, access to books and quality educational resources is limited. The Library on Wheels project addresses this gap by bringing a mobile library directly to children in different neighborhoods. This innovative project aims to foster a lifelong love for reading and learning among children learners. During the library visits, children will not only have access to a wide range of books but also participate in engaging and educational activities designed to enhance their reading skills and overall literacy. These activities will include read-aloud sessions, interactive storytelling, reading comprehension exercises, and critical thinking games.
PROJECT 2: Bore Holes
Access to clean water is a fundamental human right and a critical need for the community of Suhum, Ghana. Many residents currently lack reliable access to safe drinking water, which affects their health, quality of life, and economic well-being. The Bore Holes Project aims to address this vital issue by drilling bore holes to provide clean and sustainable water sources for the community. This project will significantly improve the daily lives of residents, reducing waterborne diseases and ensuring that families have the water they need for drinking, cooking, and hygiene.
PROJECT 4:
Abura Farms: Organic Cooperative Farming
Access to nutritious food and sustainable income sources are crucial for the well-being and economic stability of the community in Suhum, Ghana. The Organic Cooperative Farming project aims to address these needs by empowering community members to engage in organic farming practices. Participants will be organized into cooperatives and provided with training in various methods of organic farming. They will also learn how to add value to their crops through processing, packaging, and marketing, enhancing their profitability and ensuring a sustainable income.
