More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

There is no free access to computers in Ghana. Therefore many people in the area do not complete, or attend school. They seem been ignored in our society and this changing world. They find it difficult to identify the English alphabet and even the local dialect. A lack of basic health, and banking information presents a big challenge.

Activities

The creation of a community center will provide education for parents and youth who would not ordinarily have the chance to complete school. We will use this community center to teach English, math, and health classes.

Project Report

By Philip Appiah - Executive Director, November 15, 2011 10:44 AM

Dear Friends of PAAJAF,

PAAJAF has been able improve lives of many families. Prior to participation in the project, a lot of adult participants could not write their names, access information written in English (such as health information) or perform transaction requiring knowledge of English (such as opening of a bank account). With the help of PAAJAF, this problem was partly eliminated. However, we need to continue working in this direction and in order to succeed in it, Visit our website to read more about www.paajaf.org also read our 2010 report : http://paajaf.org/our-report . We are respectfully asking you for help, with the budget of $11,180, PAAJAF has raised an amount of $20.

Thank you
