Last year we had 25000 visits to our Library and Tech Zones! Every day after school, our Lawra and Nandom Inclusion Centres are filled with children.
We love seeing so many children accessing our computers, beautiful books, games & puzzles - all with trained teachers and tech experts to support learning.
Curiosity is nurtured, confidence grows, skills develop - children are reading, researching, problem solving and coding!
This was our ambitious dream, and it is a joy to see it come true.
Such great impact!👍
We have 3 spaces in the Bath Half, and just 2 days left to fill them!
Is there anyone out there who would love a challenge? It's a flat and fast course through beautiful Bath. Free to enter, and by raising some sponsorship you'd change lives in Ghana. What's not to like?!
Please share, and get in touch if you'd like to do this!
“I lost my father, so getting food at home is difficult and I often came to school hungry. Knowing I will always have lunch at school is something I really look forward to. I want to become a nurse in the future, and this feeding program is helping me stay in school and work toward that dream.”
3 weeks into our two new feeding programmes in Basebele schools, and already lives are changing. Young people can see a future, one that is hopeful.
Thank you to Ernestina for sharing with us so honestly, we are so glad to be able to help her stay in school and meet her potential.
Impactful
Her story is full of hope. Looking forward to seeing her meet her future aspirations. Long live Action Through Enterprise - ATE
Someone somewhere is really dying in silence, but just that "little" help makes a greater change. Long live ATE
Oh sorry
