Construction start for the school extension

The construction can begin!
Thanks to a successful fundraising campaign at the end of 2024, we have raised enough funds to continue building our secondary school in northern Ghana in spring 2025. With this, we aim to give even more students the opportunity to earn a secondary school diploma.

The foundation for this project had already been—quite literally—laid: foresightedly, and in close coordination with our local project partners, the foundations for the expansion were already put in place when the first classroom was built.

This approach allowed us to counteract Ghana’s high inflation and stay independent of weather conditions, since foundation work would have been impossible during the rainy season.

Our local project partner, Alhassan Salifu, chairman of the Northern Educational Alliance (NEA), was thrilled when the machines of the local construction company Rahman Ltd. arrived and the work could finally begin.

 This construction phase includes not only another classroom but also a library. Here, students will find not only textbooks and reference materials, but also quiet spaces to study and do their homework – something not always possible at home. With the addition of the second classroom, up to 80 young people will now have a place to learn and the chance to complete their secondary education.

With this expansion, it is not only the school’s infrastructure that grows, but also its perspective: our association strengthens the educational landscape and creates space for learning, initiative, and community – locally and sustainably.
