Our work for education and nutrition in Ghana is made possible due to public support from individual contributors to this ministry.

Please consider supporting the work of IHH in Ghana. More information on how you can support can be found here.

UNICEF's 2007 report on the state of the world's children shows that 22% of Ghanaian children under age 5 are moderately or severely underweight and 30% of children under age 5 have moderate to severally stunted growth.

Only 62% of Ghanaian children attend primary school. For secondary school attendance, that number drops to 35%.

Compare those statistics to the U.S. statistics of 92% in primary school and 90% in secondary school.

In Ghana, public education is provided for free, but yet many children are unable to attend even primary school due to their inability to pay for uniforms, books or school fees.

IHH is helping to ensure that 11 of these children remain in school, including a family of five orphaned siblings.

We are currently seeking donations toward meeting the next semester's expenses for these children, and we hope to expand this program to provide the same important support for additional children. Girls in School

As with our other charitable projects, IHH works with the local church so that the children not only receive the benefit of the education, but they see the church showing God's love to them by giving them hope through their education. The church also ministers to these children, who are often not only in need of financial assistance, but also emotional support and Christ's witness.

The cost of sponsoring a child's education is $500-$1,200 per year, depending on the grade level of the child. IHH seeks your help in continuing to provide this benefit for children.
