In 2026, we’re equipping at least 200 young learners in Ghana with school starter kits so they can start the new term confident and ready. Your gift today turns “I can’t” into “I can—did.”

Why this matters

For many families in Ghana, the new school term means tough choices: food or exercise books; transport or school supplies. Brilliant students fall behind not for lack of talent, but for lack of basic learning tools. We’re fixing that with practical help that delivers results in weeks not years.

What your donations will do

Procure and distribute School Starter Kits (exercise books, pencils, math set)

Impact at a glance

£12 equips one child with a complete starter kit.

Accountability & transparency

Receipts & photos of distributions posted as campaign updates.

Short impact note after distribution (attendance/usage snapshot and student stories—shared with consent).

Funds used only for the items listed above; if plans change due to local conditions, we’ll update supporters first.

Any platform processing fees are deducted by the platform; we’ll optimise to keep admin low.

Who we are

Empowered Africa Foundation (EAF) is a UK-based non-profit initiative focused on education, skills and job readiness. We partner with local educators to remove practical barriers so children can learn and thrive. This campaign is led by Divine Assor and the EAF team.

Stretch goals (if we exceed £3,000)

Every extra £12 = 1 additional child equipped.

£3,600: +~50 more kits (approx.).

£4,200: +~100 more kits (approx.).

Risks & safeguards

Supply delays: We maintain two vetted suppliers; purchase early (Dec 2025).

School schedule changes: Distribution windows agreed in writing with headteachers.

Safeguarding: All activities coordinated with school leadership; photo permissions obtained; no child-identifying info without consent.
