Schools of Dreams

Schools of Dreams is a Canadian-based organization dedicated to building schools in Ghana. This was followed by the construction of a nursery and kitchen.

The founder Dora Anie travelled with her daughters the village of Mepom, Ghana the place where she was born and raised, to discover the terrible condition of the school and nursery and the lack of available resources to create an environment conducive to learning for the youngest children of that village. After returning home to Hamilton, Dora experienced a heartfelt need to reach out to the children of Mepom. In 2003 as she shared her journey through pictures and conversations with friends, she created an enthusiasm that began Dora’s dream. To date a new building has been constructed in Mepom that houses two junior and two senior kindergarten classrooms. Numerous children have been supplied with school uniforms and valuable school supplies. Now with the initiative headed by an enthusiastic board of directors it is time to move onto another village in need. Be inspired by this unfolding story and become a part of this beautiful initiative. For more information and global inspiration:

“I want to be a footballer.”
— Gerard, a student at Pampaso-Ningo M/A Basic School.

Every day, students like Gerard show up ready to learn — ready to take another step toward the future they’re imagining. But limited classroom space, a lack of resources, and an unfinished school building make that journey harder than it should be.

At Schools of Dreams, we believe every child deserves a safe place to learn and give their dreams room to grow.

Our Building Futures Together campaign has been extended to August 31 — and we need 20 new monthly donors to cross the finish line.

Will you be one of them? 💛

Because of supporters like you, we have been able to break ground and are at this stage.

Alex Sarpong has been building schools with us since 2004. He and the crew at Pampaso Ningo give everything when they’re on-site starting at 6 AM, renting rooms in town just to be there.

Your donations make that dedication possible.

Construction has paused while we raise what’s needed to continue. But the vision hasn’t changed: four classrooms, a playground, a staff room, and washroom facilities a place children will be proud to call their school.

If you’re able to support, sign up as a monthly donor or donate what you can. you’ll help us get the crew back on-site and keep this promise to the children of Pampaso Ningo, in honour of Dora Anie’s legacy.

Alexander Nana Sarpong, who goes by Alex, is Schools of Dreams Project Manager. He is a graduate of St. Paul’s Technical School in Kukurantumi and holds a City & Guilds of London certification in building construction, with a two-part Construction Technician certificate from Accra Polytechnic.

Since 2004, Alex has generously employed his knowledge and experience in construction, building, engineering and surveying to bring our projects from mere concept to completion, from our first project in Mepom to our active build in Pampaso Ningo.

His blueprint for the kindergarten block at Pampaso Ningo is designed to include a headmaster’s office, teachers’ staff room, student playground, four classrooms, and designated washroom facilities. More than a building, it will be a space that children can feel excited to come to each day.

Our construction team has worked tirelessly to make our schools realities. Brick by brick, we’re bringing kindergarten students an opportunity they haven’t had since 1971.

We would be proud to welcome you into our community as a monthly donor, and we’d greatly appreciate any support you can provide to honour the promise we gave to the children of Pampaso Ningo.

Today we kick off our monthly donor fundraiser to support our latest project, Pampaso Ningo M/A Basic School.

For over 50 years, children in the Pampaso Ningo community in rural Ghana have attended school in a deteriorating structure built from palm fronds and tree branches. When the rain comes, classes stop.

We broke ground in 2025 on a new school building for this community, with a commitment that has been decades in the making.

Because building a classroom is about more than bricks and mortar. It’s about showing up for kids who deserve the chance to learn without interruption, without uncertainty, and without limits.

We’re in the early stages of this build and we’d love your support by become a founding monthly donor today to honour this legacy and help lay the foundation for our school build, today
