Teachers across Ghana have been on strike for nearly two weeks now. Seeing our children miss out on education is frustrating, but we're doing all we can to keep them fed and learning, and prevent them from leaving home to go and find work.
🍚 Our cooks are still cooking! Serving 1000 meals every day.
📚 We're out visiting schools with learning materials, books and encouragement!
💻 Our Inclusion Centres are open all day to provide a safe space for computer, literacy and homework sessions.
And we're hoping it's resolved soon. Teacher-less classrooms and lessons missed are not what these children need.
🚑 Health Clinic launch! 🚑
Just a few months ago, the health clinic in Kalsagri was not fit for purpose. With no reliable running water, a derelict maternity suite and uninhabitable staff quarters - the community asked us to help make it better.
We secured generous funding for this important project, completed a full refurbishment - and the new clinic opened for business last week! Pregnant women were among the first through its doors.
We're so glad to be working with Ghana Health Service to bring essential and life saving healthcare to rural communities. This is new work for us, and we hope to be able to do more of it in the future.
