Mission 1
Education Programs
Education is our first mission to eradicate poverty in rural Ghana. Through researches carried out by VARAS and other known education/teacher development related groups, it has become very clear that, education holds the key to a sustainable development and offers the opportunity to unlock and expose cultural practices that continue to halt the development of a rural child to go to school.
We have therefore identified three mediums and volunteer oriented interventions under this mission to develop the rural child holistically for the total development of the rural community we serve.
These interventions include;
1. volunteerism and community engagement
2. sponsorship of the rural child through school
3. building basic school infrastructure with emphasis on Library and Computer Center.
These approaches as we belief do not only develop just the child or community but families and communities.
Note: You do not need to be a professional to participate in our education programmes

Education and Teaching in Ghana
Volunteering is our first intervention to promote teaching and learning in rural schools. It seeks to address the problems of inadequate teachers and the medium to educate rural communities about the needs to send their children to school.
Through community engagement and campaigns etc, we hope to make known the downing effects and benefits of lack of education especially to the girl child.
We therefore offer the following opportunities for both local and international volunteers with the effort to increase the number of rural child especially girls in school. We also design new projects and programs that may not be already listed below but equally contribute to championing our fight to improve quality and access to school for sustainable development.
1. Teaching in rural community school as class teacher and or subject teacher
2. Educate rural families about the need to send their children to school
3. Organize capacity building for educational workers
4. Engage students in competitive educational campaigns and courses in order to arouse and increase the number of children in schools.
5. Offer internship opportunities both in the classroom and out the classroom
