First Year Milestone & Growing Needs!

Thanks to your generous support, Barwah Academy has proudly completed its first year with five active classrooms educating bright young minds in Kasoa, Ghana.

As we celebrate this achievement, we now face the challenge of upgrading our facilities and expanding opportunities to meet the growing needs of our students and teachers.

Our Current Priorities:
✅ School supplies for 5 classrooms (notebooks, pens, pencils, etc.)
✅ 3–4 more TVs for interactive learning (we currently have only one)
✅ Educational posters & teaching materials
✅ Teacher salaries ($600/month) to retain dedicated educators
✅ Basic health & hygiene supplies (first aid kits, soap, toilet paper)
✅ Building materials to finish construction & expand the school

We invite you to continue supporting this journey and help us build a stronger foundation for education in Kasoa. Every donation brings us closer to empowering these children with hope, skills, and opportunity.

Why It Matters:

Children in rural and semi-rural areas of in Kasoa, Ghana often cannot afford to attend school. Without access to education, many are forced into street work, exposed to risks and cut off from opportunity.

Barwah Academy’s mission is to break this cycle by providing quality education to underprivileged children, giving them the tools to build better futures.


Honoring a Legacy

Barwah Academy was founded by Samuel Idrisu, a dedicated architect and community leader, to honor the legacy of his grandfather, Major-General Charles Mohammed Barwah, former Chief of Army Staff of Ghana.

Major-General Barwah was a champion of education, personally teaching soldiers and funding school fees for children in need. Though his life was tragically cut short in 1966, his passion for learning lives on through Barwah Academy.

Today, Samuel carries forward this mission — building a school that gives underprivileged children in Kasoa, Ghana, the chance for a brighter future.

Your support helps honor a family legacy of service, sacrifice, and the transformative power of education.



Help Us Reach Our Goal

We are aiming to raise $199,490 to cover these urgent needs and expand our school. Every gift, large or small, makes a difference.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
— Nelson Mandela
