ATE Chief Executive Sarah Annable-Gardner becomes MBE in 2026 New Year's Honours!
Switching on Hope
Weโve been switching on hope all year in Upper West Ghana! One thousand school pupils, 800 disabled children and carers, 34 entrepreneurs and farmers, 20 apprentices, 18 senior high school girls and hundreds of children at our new Technology and Learning Zones are all making the most of new opportunities, support and resources – to transform their lives.
And thereโs more to come in 2026! Weโll be partnering four new schools, launching two disability groups and supporting even more people to grow businesses and learn skills. This is how whole communities are uplifted and change is real and long-lasting. This is hope..
Change through education
We work with 13 schools, providing meals, educational resources and sanitary products that enable pupils to learn on full stomachs and with dignity. So far, weโve helped more than 4100 young people access education. Olivia (above) goes to Bagri Junior High and appreciates the monthly sanitary pads provision:
โIt helps us come to school. We girls are much happier.โ
Change through enterprise
We have backed 174 small businesses with grants, training and mentoring, enabling them to become sustainable and profitable. 82 girls (including 9 with disabilities) have learnt a trade through our apprenticeship scheme. Barikisu (above) runs one of 37 ATE-backed dry season farms:
โATE gave me all I needed to succeed.โ
Change through inclusion
We bringing disabled children into the light, challenging stigma and enabling them to learn and laugh. Our SNAP disability project supports almost 800 children and carers across 8 locations, providing education, equipment, medication, advocacy and lots of joy. Tierto (above, with Julita and Charles) says:
โThe main reason I love SNAP meetings is I know I am not alone. I have learnt new things, I worry much less, life has improved.โ
