The project is located in the area of Hobor/Ghana, about two hours northwest of the capital Accra. In this area, the children live spread out in small settlements and have no school to attend. The nearest school is either too far away or the families cannot afford the school fees. So there is often child labor instead of school education. Here you can learn more about the children and the situation in the Hobor area.

 

Our partner association Kinder Zentrum International manages the project on site, currently the school construction, later the operation of the school. The chairman, Antonio Freeman, had the vision to provide education for more children there, so the idea of this joint project was born. Through our commitment here, we want to support this important work in Ghana in the best possible way. Through Antonio we also got to know the small village Hobor, where he himself grew up. Here you can read more about our story and how it came about. 

 

Our common goal is the construction and operation of a school for about 200 children. From the donations already collected, our partner association "Kinder Zentrum International" was able to buy the land and start building three classrooms, which has now been completed! Antonio Freeman, who is currently leading the further construction on site together with the project manager Eric Anthony, will later become the director of the school. In addition, there will initially be a headmaster and three additional teachers. Initially, we will start with three classes, each with about 20 children aged 4-7. Later, we want to expand the school and thus gradually make schooling possible for more children.

 

Before opening the school, we want to equip it with clean water and sanitary facilities, as well as provide electricity. This is not available to most families at home. We also want to provide a hot lunch for the children during the lunch break. For the maintenance of the school we will arrange sponsorships, which will support the monthly school financing.
