Ghana School Aid (UK charity No. 299178) is entirely run by volunteers in the UK and Ghana. We have raised over £500,000 and supported more than 300 projects all around the country with a particular focus on some of the most remote regions, deprived communities and girls’ access to education.
We fund projects brought to us by the schools and communities focusing on basic infrastructure such as classrooms, roofs, toilets and washrooms, classroom equipment as well as learning centres that serve the whole of the community.
