A Sign of the Times- Joseph the Plumber
Joseph’s thriving plumbing business is a sign that things are changing in Lawra. He installs WCs, wash basins, showers, sinks and polytanks. “I enjoy doing quality work. And it’s making people’s lives easier – so they don’t need to go to the borehole to fetch water,...
A Day in the Life of Janet
4am – wakes up, prays, cleans house, sets fire. Then, she goes to the well to get water, warms water over fire and bathes her 3 year old daughter Patience. No breakfast. 7am – leaves for work. It used to take 2 hours to walk, but now ATE has helped her buy a bike for...
VocATE Apprentice Janet securing her future as a seamstress
At “something between 25 and 30 years old” Janet is a bit older than most ATE-supported apprentices. But, if anything, that means she’s making even more of the opportunity. Two years ago, she was selected to be the apprentice of Teresa, a seamstress who received a...

Pioneering Headteacher John Bosco
John Bosco has gone a full circle. He was the pioneering headteacher at Dowine Junior High School before, during and after ATE helped establish the school-feeding programme. But now, he’s been posted to a different school – Boo JHS – where there’s no feeding...
A Day in the Life of Christiana
It’s always great to see a business expand and diversify – and that’s exactly what Christiana has done. She’s used her grant from ATE to buy supplies for her hairdressing business, and now also buys and sells maize. In fact, the maize has become a bigger part of the...
Who’s the boss- Businesswoman Cecelia shows us how its done
Cecelia is one ATE’s great success stories. In less than three years, she’s gone from being someone with no business at all to a seamstress with two apprentices and her own property. Back in February 2016, we were so impressed by Cecelia we decided to take a punt and...
Pete is cycling Ireland!
I am one of ATE’s six trustees, as well as a cancer- and stroke-survivor, with a big cycle challenge ahead of me. It will be an epic ride for me, cycling the length of Ireland from its most Southern to its most Northern tip. This is the story of how I arrived at...
Life is hard for many in the ultra rural north of Nandom, most of its 11,000 inhabitants survive on subsistence farming – with poverty incidence in some villages as high as 50%.
Many children arrive at school hungry, are in torn uniforms with broken shoes and desks. Hunger makes it hard to concentrate or stay in school all day, and many don’t even attend.
These children deserve more.
For one hundred and eighty seven pupils in the remote villages of Bu and Tantuo, everything is about to change. From January, we'll be there for them. A daily lunch, textbooks and educational materials will give them the chance they deserve to learn with dignity.
Read more about our brand new 2 school partnerships here! ateghana.org/its-number-10-our-newest-hub-is-coming-soon/
And please let us know if you want to help transform these schools. We have no funding for either yet - a chance to change the whole world, for 187 children 💚
Looking forward to seeing Bu and Tantuo schools benefit from ATE programs. We will be grateful to see them being supported.
