a word from a partner
"They are not only giving kids important skills in reading, writing, and math — they are also teaching kids about Jesus. In spite of everything, these beautiful students show up each day with a smile."

Mrs. Jill Spatafor

Educator · 30 years · U.S. Partner

The kids eat a meal each school day, but still lack running water, electricity, and air conditioning. Please partner with us — and celebrate that you have a part in spreading the name of Jesus to many precious children and families in Ghana.
