The Livingstone Foundation and The Duffuor Foundation are partnering to create change in the lives of children through the Ghanaian Dream project, the first step of which will be building a school in Trekume in the Anloga District in the Volta region.
Trekume is a small, agricultural community with a population of around 5000 people and the Trekume basic school is the only school in the area, serving six surrounding communities: Dosukope, Nyikutor, Mamime, Lividzi, Dewenu, and Dewegodo.
The Trekume basic school has seen no renovation since it was built many years ago and it is currently in a deplorable state, with uncompleted school buildings, broken chairs, and tables, the absence of a library and computer lab, and no books covering the new curriculum by the Ghana Education service.
“It’s simply inhumane for students to study under such conditions and yet write the same exams as other students all around the country. It’s unfair and unjust” Dr. Duffuor posted on his Facebook page.
Because of the state of the school, most teachers refuse to be posted to Trekome, and so the innocent children in the community are suffering academically and socially, and that negatively shapes their future.
Dr. Kwabena Duffuor and Stonebwoy are partnering up to change the future for the children of Trekome and Anloga, as they both share a passion for education and social intervention.
