Education - Food - Shelter

Every child deserves the opportunity to realise their full potential.

We are working with the most disadvantaged children and young people in Ghana to help them break the cycle of poverty.

Access to Education

Around 30% of children in the Kumasi region do not have access to basic education.

It’s why free and safe access to education is critical to breaking the cycle of poverty. We are providing quality education to over 400 children and young people.

Our Projects

Brightlingsea Academy provides free education to 452 children, from nursery through to junior high school, in Kumasi, Ghana. Every child receives two nutritious meals each school day, school uniforms and additional support where needed.

Girl Power helps girls and young women in Ghana stay in education when financial difficulties put their studies at risk. We provide individual support, mentoring and practical assistance, working alongside families to help young people build more independent futures.

We work with the families of the children we support to create sustainable, thriving communities and tackle unemployment in the Kumasi region. We help parents to secure a brighter future...
Brighter Futures, a new project for 2023, provides bright young men with the resources to attend university.
Through our Start Up programme we are working to create prosperity, provide employment opportunities and help the parents of the children we support to create their own income.

    An environment for success

    The average wage for the families we support is £1.50 a day

    Children cannot realise their full potential on empty stomachs or in unsafe living conditions. Our programmes are holistic. We provide nutritional meals, safe shelter, care and dignity to the children and young people we support.

    Supporting Communities

    65% of the mothers we support are in employment, compared to less than 30% in 2013.

    Children need a sustainable and resilient community around them to thrive in. Improving local prosperity is key to breaking the cycle of poverty.

    We work with local communities in Ghana to deliver our services, drive prosperity and create employment opportunities.
