GapBuster Ghana

As we embark on this journey to expand GapBuster's STEAM program to the Motherland (Ghana) we NEED your help to raise money to complete the washrooms and dining hall for Effiduase Methodist School. The students have no in-door plumbing or dining hall to eat breakfast or lunch.  Your tax deductible dollars will go a LONG way and impact the life of our future scholars. Every child deserves a good education, but without adequate facilities it is difficult for a child to learn.  Donate TODAY and make a lasting difference in a child's life.

Ground Breaking Ceremony in Effiduase Methodist School. In 2016, GapBuster conducted a needs assessment and realized it was necessary to build infrastructure such as washrooms and dining halls to host STEM-related programs for the public schools. We identified Effiduase Methodist Primary School to conduct our pilot program.

Aligned with President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo STEM initiative, Gapbuster expanded into Ghana and incorporated GapBuster Ghana as a Non-Government Organization. GapBuster Ghana hopes to address the need to increase girls entering the STEM fields, we decided to work in rural/village areas of the country targeting public schools only. Our goal is to expose the girl-child ages 11 to 17 to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) as well as create STEM Centers in selected areas of the country. 

GapBuster plans to host cross-cultural exchange programs between students in Ghana and USA.
