<div>Missahoe Children's orphanage is based in Kpando in Ghana and is ran by Mawusi Dotse. Currently it houses 18 and teaches 350+ local children. I visited the orphanage and stayed there for 6 months in 2012 and helped to build a new house for the orphanage. I have since helped to fund the orphanage, and especially so over the hardships caused by Covid-19. Recently the owner of the building that the orphanage uses for school classrooms, has increased rent and is going through the process of evicting them. We plan to raise enough money to build a new building owned wholly by the orphanage whilst also supporting monthly with money for food, school supplies and rent.

</div>
<div>The Story of Mawusi and Missahoe:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Missahoe orphanage was started by Mawusi Dotse in 2003. This is the story of how that came to be.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whilst on holiday in her home village of Kpando, she heard crying very late at night outside her building. She went outside to find two young boys abandoned, alone, and crying for help. She immediately took them in for the night.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the morning she brought the two boys to social services, who confirmed the boys had been abandoned by their parents and were in need of care. When asked, Mawusi agreed to care for the two boys, and in the coming weeks registered the boys for school. On the first day that they attended they came back with six other children who were homeless and wanted to go to school.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After bringing those children to social services they again asked Mawusi to take the children into her care, and so Missahoe Orphanage began, named after one of the other family businesses. As word got around, more and more children were brought to the home by social services aswell as by families who no longer wanted the children and simply just left them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mama Mawusi began receiving more and more children from social services who were in need of a safe place to live. She took each and every child into her care helping them through all of their adjustment processes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sending the children to school was expensive, and the children also struggled as they were labeled as “orphan children” they did not feel comfortable. Mawusi decided that the only way to was to start her own school where the children could be educated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As Mawusi began with the school, it caught the attention of many of the people in the surrounding villages. These people begged Mawusi to allow their children to attend the school as well. Reluctantly, Mawusi agreed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, the schoolhouses around 200 kids daily, with only about 100 of them paying school fees. The orphanage houses 18 children who Mawusi has taken into her care full time until they are finished with secondary school and are able to fully support themselves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately Covid made this even harder and the owner of the building that the orphanage uses for school classrooms, has increased rent and threatened to evict them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I visited Missahoe for 6 months in 2012 and have since supported the orphanage providing money for food, school supplies and rent among other essentials.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We would now like to build a new school building for the orphanage that will be wholly owned by Mawusi and Missahoe and allow the education of the children to continue.
