An Athens College Elementary School student team is raising money to build a school in the village of Kyereban 2, located near the artificial lake Volta in Ghana, Africa. The population of the village is about 600 inhabitants and it is located between the villages of Kyereban 1 and 3 (see location on Google maps). Although the village of Keyreban 2 was built near the lake to make it easier for the residents to access water, the community faces a lot of problems as it is impoverished, without electricity and most houses are made of straw. The school building that already exists is too small to accommodate the 250 students who attend it. 

Our goal is to raise enough money to build three new classrooms and a teacher's office. Our students intend to work closely with the volunteer Stefani Grigoriou from Cyprus, who will supervise the project in Ghana and will be sharing live streaming, videos and photos with the students so that they can follow developments and co-organize actions with the school of the area.

Let's support our students' effort to build a school in Ghana!

The amount of money required to complete the project is approximately 6,000 euros and it will change the standard of living of the people in the area. The project is expected to be completed by Spring 2024.

Through this effort, our students are also participating at our School's Annual Fund. After the needs of the project are met, the fundraising surplus will be donated in support of the Athens College Scholarship Program for Financial Aid to classmates and their families, as needed.
