Ghana
While Ghana is one of the more stable countries in Africa, significant challenges persist in rural areas like Medie, where opportunities are limited.
Educational Barriers: Many rural children lack access to schools with qualified teachers and proper facilities. Ghana’s rural areas face a teacher shortage, and students often walk long distances to attend overcrowded schools.
Economic Inequality: Despite economic growth, 24.2% of Ghanaians live in poverty, with rural communities being disproportionately affected.
Limited Resources: Rural schools often lack libraries, technology, and science labs, leaving children underprepared for competitive careers in a global economy.
Give Hope Global invests in education in Ghana to ensure children have the tools and support they need to succeed. By building schools, offering scholarships, and empowering teachers, we help rural communities create a pathway out of poverty.
