Our Projects
Education Scholarships
We aim to get as many children from underprivileged backgrounds into schools to give them the best opportunity to learn and grow. Our scholarship entails school fees, uniform and equipment for children aged 4 upwards. A scholarship costs circa £70 and can fund a child's entire primary and secondary education.
To date we have raised enough funding to provide scholarships for 27 children to attend their local school in Akosombo Ghana.
Health Care
An agile mind needs a healthy body so we need to ensure the children are in tip top shape. The foundation works with local communities to ensure kids are all registered to public healthcare and deliver medicine like immunisation jabs and medical treatments.
To date we have registered 85 kids to the public healthcare system and immunised 50 kids against polio. This is in leiu of Alem becoming an Ambassador for Rotary International's End Polio Now project.
A big achievement has been funding life-saving surgery for a beautiful young girl - Venuyne. She contract a bone degrading disease called Ostomyelitis when she was 2 years old. We have now funded 3 rounds of surgery to save her leg. She is now on the road to recovery and attending school!
Fresh Drinking Water
Old Akrade village desperately needs access to clean water to support its 75 households. Right now there is no direct access to fresh drinking water which is causing various health issues throughout the village. The only water resource is a nearby river which is not drinkable without the appropriate filtering.
A recent survey conducted by the Ghana Water Company found that their infrastructure would not have the capacity to pump the water the distance required to reach the village. Therefore sustainable water supply can only be sourced via the river or the subterranean water table.
There are two solutions available to secure a clean and sustainable water supply to the village, the first being an immediate solution, the latter being more sustainable in the long-term.

Phase 1: Immediate solution: Filtration Initiative
Utilising the local river it is imperative we improve the ability to transport and filter that water. We have forged partnerships with foundations specialising in this area:
Fresh20 have a mission to reduce poverty, improve health and prevent death by enabling the provision of clean water for drinking and sanitation purposes globally. They have patented military grade water filtration units that remove 99.999% of bacteria from any water and last a life time. We have so far managed to supply fresh drinking water filters to 32 househoulds and we aim to supply every family with fresh water. Do you want to buy a filter for a family?
