Transforming Lives Through Education.

Empowering Dreams.
Transforming Futures.

At Okyerema International Foundation, we understand the sacrifices families make to give their children a better future. For many, the dream of education is overshadowed by financial hardship, forcing parents to choose between putting food on the table and keeping their children in school.

​

In the face of these hardships, our bursaries provide a lifeline to families struggling to afford the starting fees for secondary education. We ensure these students don’t have to drop out due to financial barriers. Whether it’s a student entering secondary school for the first time or one at risk of leaving, we help keep their dream of education alive.

Your Support Today Means a World
of Possibilities Tomorrow. 

No child should be held back by circumstances they can’t control. Education levels the playing field, allowing every student to dream bigger and achieve more. A secondary school diploma opens doors to higher education, decent-paying jobs, and economic stability. Without it, children face a future of limited opportunities, trapped in a cycle of poverty.

An uneducated child is an adult with a poverty of choices:

Financial hardship keeps students from reaching their full potential. Many families struggle to cover even the most basic school-related costs despite free tuition.

Education is the single best route out of poverty. Without it, children are left with a poverty of choices, with little control over their future.

Talented students often go unrecognized. Many bright young minds lack support beyond moral encouragement despite their potential for excellence.

We Can Change Lives.
One Bursary at a Time. 

For many families in the Techiman Metropolitan of Ghana, the dream of sending their children to school feels just out of reach. Even with tuition covered, the costs of transportation, meals, and supplies create an overwhelming burden. Parents work tirelessly yet still struggle to afford the essentials that keep their children in school.​ You can change that.​​​

​​$400 can keep one student in school for a year.​

​​​$200,000 can transform 500 lives.

Our goal is to raise $200,000

to support 500 students every year.​
