The Joan Miller Womack Weweso School Development programs sponsors  two schools in Kumasi, Ghana.

The first school is the  Weweso Junior High School which is a government school and is under the free compulsory universal basic education. The school does not receive adequate funding to provide the necessary teaching and learning materials to improve the quality of education.  


The next school is the Asuokoo D/A Basic school was established by the community to enable the people in the community to have access to formal education, to minimize illiteracy rate. It  started with an enrollment of 20 boys and 12 girls. Now the school has an enrollment of 235 plus, with 11 classrooms , 8 primary teachers and 8 Junior High School (JHS) teachers.

Asuokoo is a village located in the Asikuma Odoben Brakwa district in the Central Region of Ghana - West Africa near a town called Jamra from Breman Asikuma.

For both schools, the government should provide facilities and other necessary resources to aid the childrens education but those things are not forthcoming. The children need to have access to formal education but inadequate and lack of educational materials has been hindering the progress of the school, affecting the children negatively in their academic work.

The school lack so many things to make teaching and learning effective.

2019-2020 Fall School year, our goal is to help provide the basic school necessities for learning and preparation for high school. The Weweso Junior High School Program seeks to provide much needed resources such as computers, laptops, desks, books and school supplies to students at the Weweso Junior High School in Kumasi, Ghana.  Your support and donation goes directly to the students at the Weweso Junior High School. We encourage and appreciate any amount you can give to help us reach our goal.



Our goals are  to  provide desk, books and educational supplies to these students.

900 students at this school 

Computer Lab currently has 12 computers for 900 students  (Our goal is to donate  3 laptop computers by the end of this year) And to provide desktops in the future. 

The teacher can send the laptop to the classrooms with or without projector to teach basic usage and learning.
The students can have access to internet research and exploring in their classroom.
Teachers still write on chalkboards so notes can be typed and project it on the wall for easy teaching and learning.
