Our battle against inequality

Poverty, long distances, and poor infrastructure prevent many children in Ghana from accessing education. Although school is officially free, hidden costs like uniforms, textbooks, and exam fees make it unaffordable for many low-income families. As a result, children stay home (as do their mothers) rapping entire families in a cycle of poverty. Meanwhile, children from wealthier families attend school and their mothers are free to work and earn. With Project Shaddai, Help for Women is breaking this cycle. We provide children from underprivileged backgrounds the same access to education and opportunity as their more fortunate peers, because every child deserves a fair start in life.

How it started

After interviewing women in the neighborhood of Gomoa Fetteh, the same place where our headquarters is based, we asked them what their greatest desire would be. Their answer: an affordable school in the neighborhood. With such a school, they would have time during the day to look for work and provide for their families. In December 2023, with 0% of the funds raised and 100% trust in God, we announced to the entire neighborhood that the school would open in just four weeks. On 22nd January 2024, we started Shaddai International Christian School with only five children in the first week. Today, we are a growing school of 80 children. With many more on the waiting list we’re making a lasting impact on the community.

We believe with the help of generous people we can impact the nation of Ghana.  Partner with us in building this facility to revive the lives and dreams of young women in Ghana. You can do so by clicking on our donation page and gift any amount towards changing these women's lives.
