NMS – Supporting vulnerable Ghanaian children to receive an education

NMS has partnered with OAfrica to support 47 children to continue to attend school during this school year.  In our commitment to supporting local, community charities we have pledged support to OAfrica based near our Dodowa site in the village of Ayenya.  OA works with vulnerable children and their families to keep them out of institutions and in a home environment while continuing their education.  They provide social and financial support in a sustainable way, working with family members to undertake training and developing income-generation schemes enabling them to support their children and keep them out of orphanages.

Meet Kwame, 5, Kofi, 7 and Francis 9 – three brothers who unfortunately lost their father. Afterwards their mother could not afford to send them to school or provide enough food for them to eat – resulting in them becoming severely malnourished. They were referred to OAfrica to prevent them being placed in an orphanage. Now they receive our support, all three boys are attending school, they are steadily gaining weight, and have lots of energy to play.
