Awaso Canadian Academy Foundation

Awaso Canadian Academy Foundation Enabling the people to help themselves through providing education for the children of Awaso, Ghana. What is Awaso?

It all started with a dream of Father Paul Mensah of ending the cycle of poverty in his home village of Awaso, Ghana. Main Objectives of the Project

- Assist children to pass Ghana government educational exams at grade 9 level. These exams determine if the students can continue their education. “Rural Ghana” has a history of a low percentage of students passing the exams.

- Encourage the parents

and students to improve their living conditions by example and provide employment to the local people while developing this project.

- Provide adult technical training in the areas of welding, carpentry, home economics, mechanics, plumbing (including training in building and maintaining septic systems), electricians, first aid, and financial management.

- Enable the people to “help themselves through education”. There is work available with local industries such as the Bauxite mine and lumber mill if the residents are trained. This employment of local people will improve the quality of life in the community.

We have a VERY exciting update! After years of planning, and raising the funds, the water filtration system is underway!!

Here's what's been done so far;

1. Fr. Jones performed a brief sod-cutting (groundbreaking) ceremony to commence the project. 🙏

2. The drilling for the additional borehole has been completed!!

3. Concrete foundation is almost complete! Hopefully by next week they will be done with the laterite filling and the laying of blocks (construction of walls) will begin! 🥳
