Child Development Project - Ghana, Hohoe, West Africa

In the Spring of 2006, with a Team of enthusastic, young Ghanaians, the first seed was sown for an after-school Education Centre and Children's Library, (known locally as Kids' Corner) int the centre of Hohoe, 150 kilometers from the capital, Accra, in one of the most beautiful parts of Ghana.

We provide much needed educational, sporting and recreational materials and facilities, and just as important, an oasis where children can come to learn in a peaceful, friendly and relaxed environment.

Kids' Corner has now flourished and grown into the main focal point of the children of Hohoe, with a membership of over 3,500 children, aged from 5 - 16, who regularly visit our after-school Education Centre.

As important as the provision of educational and recreational materials and facilities, is our aim to boost the self-confidence of these children. Many come from very deprived and difficult backgrounds. From an early age, they have to work very hard to help support their families. Beating is commonplace in the home and at school. Children are discouraged by negative attitudes. Self-esteem is often very low.
