Meet our stakeholders, the reason we do what we do

Meet our stakeholders, the reason we do what we do. This is Isaac,16 and in his last year of Junior High School at Abenta. He’s been here for nine years, since the start of his school career. Isaac tells us about what’s changed during this time, what a difference it has made to his learning, and why he’s made the brave decision to live alone in order to stay here until he’s finished his final year.

“In the early days before these buildings, we only had a canvas canopy for shade. When it rained we’d have to stop lessons and go home. There were so many disruptions, no continuity. I used to miss school and sometimes thought I may as well stay at home, especially in the rainy season.”

“Now there are so many buildings here. My classroom is strong with a roof and walls, so even when it’s pouring with rain we feel comfortable and safe inside. Every day I want to come toschool to learn. There’s no bad behaviour and people come here from other villages and other schools because we have the best buildings,” Isaac says proudly.

“Everything’s so clean, bright and spacious inside. And there’s space to keep our books and bags, so we don’t have to carry everything home each day. Plus, it’s secure: stuff doesn’t go missing.”

“Next year I’m going to be joining my family in Accra and I’ll find a job there. I’d like to be a soldier. My family left the village six months ago because of work commitments. But I decided to stay. I love my school and my teachers, I’m doing so well in maths and science in particular, I didn’t to leave so close to my final exams. It’s hard living apart and sometimes I’m lonely. But it’s worth it for this place.”

Isaac has a message for everyone who has helped fund and build Abenta School.

“Thank you. Thank you for creating such an amazing place where I can learn without distractions and get the qualifications I need for my big future.”

A new school year is well underway and the kids are delighted to be back because school time means screen time. Our #tech2teach project helps improve literacy and numeracy skills as well as being a lot of fun #education4all #villagebyvillage

Today Wednesday 24th January 2024 is International Day of Education https://www.unesco.org/en/international-day-education and we want to go big! Anyone fancy building a school? We want Africa to be led by educated leaders. Education transforms lives. For most of Africa’s children, education represents the only way out of a life of entrenched poverty. No other investment has such a lasting effect as the education of children. Village by Village concentrates its efforts on building schools in the most remote rural villages across Ghana, areas where the need is most critical, and where the impact can be truly transformational click the link to find out more….https://villagebyvillage.org.uk/project/building-schools/ #education #schools #villagebyvillage"
