After School Project in Ghana

Education in Ghana is still in it's developmental stage as compared to developed countries. This is due to inadequate funding in the sector and, therefore, has an immense effect in the quality of teaching and facilities needed for a better education.

The after school project was launched in recognition of the need to support children with their education as well as providing them with sporting opportunities.

At United Through Sport Ghana we are aware of the pressure that young sporting talent put on themselves whilst trying to fulfill their sporting ambitions. This determination to succeed in sport is often pursued to the detriment of children’s scholastic achievements.

Put simply – when you’re eager to hit the football pitch after school, homework is the last thing on your mind!

The after school programme offers homework help, extra tuition and exam revision for those children who may otherwise struggle to keep up due to their dedication to sport.

The project will provide tutors (sourced from the volunteer project) and will initially focus on the children who participate in the UTS Ghana football team – but the ultimate aim of United Through Sport Ghana is to provide after school learning support for every child that participates in a United Through Sport sports based project.

As always, without the generosity and hard work of volunteers and fundraisers this programme wouldn’t be possible – and we are extremely grateful for the continued efforts of all our supporters.

Donations to this project go directly into providing a local Team to sustain the project in the long term, as international volunteers are not available all the time. We are also working on acquiring a permanent location to run this project.
