Education for All

  • About the initiatives
  • UN SDGs
  • About the nonprofit

We strive to provide quality education to children in rural areas, ensuring every child has access to learning opportunities that enable them to succeed.

Due to a lack of proper health care, insufficient finances, and teenage pregnency, many children in Ghana do not have the opportunity to complete their education. Up to 26.9% of children aged 5-17 in the Western Region of Ghana alone are involved in economic activity, with 20.5% involved in child labor and almost one in every eight children (13.5%) in the form of hazardous labor. The lure of earning their own money is a common reason why children's education is disrupted by child labor. Teenage pregnancy affects the schooling of girls, and when it results from sexual exploitation, most girls drop out of school to look after their babies and learn a trade to support their families. (Source: Child Protection Baseline Research Report, 2014.) This continues the vicious cycle of impoverished communities that lack the knowledge and resources to build a brighter future.

Brainpower Development Centre (BDC) LBG identifies at-risk children in need by offering them quality education and healthcare sponsorship in one of our partner schools and supporting them in pursuing a career to make a good living. BDC is committed to providing community awareness and education related to drug and substance abuse, HIV and AIDS, malaria, and the risks associted with teenage pregnancy. By giving all of our sponsored children free health care, we can prevent them from getting illnesses that lead to school absences and provide them with treatment when they do become ill. Partnering with local schools and hospitals we hope to develop strong, healthy communities and empower children to escape the cycle of poverty.
