Your legacy can change lives – adding Action Through Enterprise to your will gives children hope for the future

A kind bequest from a much-loved Rotarian has meant that sixty pupils at a rural school can benefit from a school lunch. This generous legacy has created an even greater legacy – a generation of children able to learn, thrive and build a life of opportunity.

 

At a junior high school in Biro – an extremely rural community with no paved roads, running water or electricity, where almost everyone is a small scale farmer – sixty pupils eat lunch every day thanks to a much-appreciated legacy.

Biro knows about legacy. When we first began providing school meals in 2018, there were just 12 pupils – and they were all hungry. Today, there are five times as many students, all learning on full stomachs. And from that first cohort, we are delighted that Olivia is now our very own Assistant Hub Manager – leading our work supporting girls at Senior High School – and Lucy, who is the first person ever from Biro to go university, plans to return as a midwife to help her people. True legacy.

Susan Suchoper, Action Through Enterprise supporter, donor and trustee since our very first year, has already included a bequest in her will:

“I could see the wonderful life-changing work the charity was doing and really wanted to be part of it. Since then, our work has developed beyond recognition – but there is still so much more that we can do.

A legacy from me will help that work to continue in the future. And I will still be part of it.”

If you would like to see your legacy live on, we promise to honour your wishes and bring opportunity and hope in rural Ghana. Thank you.
