Pre-/Primary and Junior Secondary School in Volta Region Ghana, educating around 300-400 children from the rural surrounding communities. The school is struggling to perform with the lack of means, well-educated staff and support from the government. The aim is to support and to advise the teaching staff in order to teach and implement new, additional teaching methods and structures in the school.
The founder (local farmer and pastor) started the school in 1991 with a few disadvantaged children from the local community, because he believes that education is the key to development.

Nevertheless, the school is struggling to perform with the lack of means and support from the government.
