Award from Downing Street

The Wulugu Project founder has received a ‘Points of Light’ award from the Prime Minister. This is a great honour and reflects the tremendous work over the years by our teams in Ghana and UK and the strong support from donors. We estimate that it has cost us approximately £6 per head to ensure education for over quarter of a million children. Read the full press release here

A School for Kokpeng Village

We have started building a school with toilets for this very deprived district. Village women are helping. This is a (literally!) ground-breaking project as we have been given funding to build a strengthened building, hoping to delay the normal weather damage and so save money in the long run.

Help from Ghana

A Ghanaian charity has helped us in our improvements at Savelugu Vocational school by providing two extra classrooms. The school had suffered two lightening strikes and needed extensive repairs, and we are please that things are now back to normal.

Repairs at Sawla

This vocational school is very over-crowded. The PTA and district assembly have helped with an extra hostel for girls. It needed repairs to some walls, window frames and doors. This is now completed.

Trade Aid

Through Grantham Kesteven Rotary Club, Trade Aid are sending ten more tailoring boxes out for our tailoring department at Sawla. These are incredibly practical, usable and durable. We are so grateful.

Training for Teachers

We have run the first of a planned series of training sessions for heads, teachers and trainers at our vocational schools. We are hoping to find the funding we need for more of these as they work so well to improve morale and performance.
