OUR WORK

Our work in Northern Ghana

We put working technology into the hands of young people and schools. Here is what your support has made possible so far.

PROJECT

Computers for young people

Chance for Africa received, built and delivered computers ready for the internet and remote learning. Around 2,500 young people in Northern Ghana now have their own access to them.

With these computers, students can reach online learning materials, use educational software and communicate in a global environment. They can continue their studies, take in a much wider range of information and see more of the issues that shape their lives and environment.

PROJECT

Sandabbi School computer lab

A computer lab is only useful if it is safe. We helped refurbish the computer lab at Sandabbi School by providing electrical cables and switches, so children have a secure and safe place to learn.

THE DIFFERENCE IT MAKES

From scarce books to a world of information

Before, access to books and written material was very limited, and what students had was often old or irrelevant. Now, with computer skills, educational software and the internet, these young people have:

  • more chances to find jobs
  • the skills to create jobs and generate income themselves
  • the confidence to take an active part in their communities
  • the knowledge to become a new generation of better-informed parents

Every donation goes to the work

Chance for Africa is funded entirely by donations and holds no reserves. Whatever you give goes straight into equipment and learning for young people in Ghana.
