Education: Investing in the Children

In 2007, only 70 children regularly attended the primary school.  Today, 210 children attend! The village's program directors purchase a uniform for every child and the results are amazing: a 300% increase in attendancewithin 1 year! Through donations and the village's partnership with Africa Yes!, children from 6 different villages are able to regularly attend school.

As attendance grew, so did the need for supplies, space and teachers. Africa Yes! teamed up with local schools to collect and deliver 6 barrels of supplies to the school! 

In 2016, Africa Yes! had raised enough funds, when combined with funds raised by the village to build an additional building to house two additional classrooms.

Gbeworbu has 6 trained teachers, although only two are paid by the government.
The remaining 4 receive stipends made possible by your donations.
