ODW Partnership: | Ghana Girls’ Education Program project Matching Grant: $10,000
Since the Ghana Girls’ Education Program project was initiated in 2007, Create Change has witnessed change in the lives of almost 800 girls in Northern Ghana who have a dream of getting an education so they can pull themselves and their families out of poverty. Every October, hundreds of students who have gained admission to high school line up outside of Create Change’s office in Ghana, in hopes of receiving support through the provision of school fees and supplies. Despite the number of girls that may be waiting, each girl is extensively interviewed to find out about her background, her academic performance, and the challenges she faces in continuing her education. It is always an emotional time as for many girls it is the first time that they have been asked to speak about their lives as the hardships they may have faced. If a student is found to be in need of support (the vast majority of applicants are), then Create Change staff will engage with the students’ parents in person or over the phone to ensure they understand the terms of sponsorship. |
