About Us
Okyerema International Foundation (OIF) is a Canadian-registered non-profit charitable organization that has been dedicated to supporting the scholastic dreams of underprivileged students in Ghana for over 12 years (2010). It is rooted in the belief that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty.
​
We are a small but determined grassroots organization born from the compassion and firsthand experience of our founder and president, Paul Ameyaw. Growing up in the Techiman Metropolitan of Ghana, Paul witnessed many children's challenges in accessing education. Paul is determined to make a difference; he took action by raising funds to provide bursaries that help underprivileged students stay in school and pursue their dreams.
​
Through community-driven fundraising efforts, OIF has supported numerous students on their academic journeys. After a brief pause post-COVID, the foundation has been reignited with a passionate team of volunteers, working towards building a fully operational support system. With renewed energy, we are committed to bridging the gap in education access—one bursary at a time.
Our Mission
At Okyerema International Foundation, we believe that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Our mission is to support the scholastic dreams of underprivileged students in Ghana by providing bursaries to students pursuing secondary school education in the Techiman Metropolitan of Ghana.
​
We ensure that financial hardship doesn’t stand in the way of learning. By supporting students starting secondary school or at risk of dropping out, we help them stay in school, succeed, and build a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
One bursary, one student at a time!
Our Vision
At Okyerema International Foundation, we envision a future where every child, regardless of their financial circumstances, has access to quality education and the opportunity to reach their full potential.
By providing bursaries, we break down barriers and empower young minds to transform their lives, uplift their communities, and build a brighter, more prosperous Ghana.
