GHANA, AFRICA
In West Africa, many children are denied the education they rightfully deserve. Lacking proper schools and classrooms, these children are often forced to study under trees, struggling for a chance at a better future.
ALL ABOUT KUMASI FOOD FOUNDATION
How We Make a Difference
According to the Word Food Programme, “poverty and food insecurity are largely rural problems that Ghana is facing as some may call the triple burden of malnutrition (underweight, overweight and vitamin and mineral deficiencies).”The Kumasi Food Foundation provides food assistance to those in need, by connecting with local farmers and other resources to identify ways to feed Ghana families.
Pencils, pens, books, and other materials are available. Please contact the Kumasi Food Foundation or fill out the registration form.
The literacy rate for adult male population is 82.04% (8,557,520 persons). 1,873,646 are illiterate.
The literacy rate for adult female population is 71.35% (7,522,421 persons). 3,019,975 are illiterate.
Youth literacy rates are 91.32% and 89.86% for males and females accordingly.
Nearly a third of students enrolled in Ghanaian schools do not complete primary school, and only 47% complete secondary school.
Some of the challenges are attributed to:
- Inadequate school supplies
- Low wages for teachers
- Lack of qualified teachers
- Not enough school blocks to schedule adequate learning sessions
- Overcrowding
- Economics
- Lack of learning facilities
Kumasi Food Foundation works to partner with medical care professionals to identify ways to access medical supplies and sometimes equipment to assist with quality medical care.
A variety of clothing options are available for donation. Please contact Kumasi Food Foundation or fill out the registration form.
Meet the Founder
For Kwadwo (Kojo) Boakye, what began as a dream soon transformed into a concrete plan, and ultimately, a thriving reality. The Kumasi Foundation, based in Kumasi, Ghana, was originally founded as a cooperative in 1990. Its mission was simple: to support local children with food and school fees. Over time, the organization grew and evolved into a full-fledged foundation. In 2013, the Kumasi Food Foundation was officially registered as a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Ghana, continuing its vital work in the community.
