Action Through Enterprise - ATE

08/05/2026

Yesterday our wonderful young volunteers shared the ATE story in Chilton Foliat. Izzy Tolputt was inspired by ATE at just 7 years old in her primary school assembly. She remembers hearing about our very first school feeding programme, and last night she talked about how it felt to be in Ghana for the launch of our 13th!

Our work is only possible with the support of communities in the Uk, and we’re so glad to have such dedicated young people on the team. Hearing them talk so confidently and emotionally about the impact of ATE on their lives was very special.

The next generation of change makers….. we can’t wait to see what they achieve.

In 2021 Bertha was in an extremely challenging situation. She was pregnant, caring for 3 younger siblings, hungry and sad - there was no income to the family home. We had won funding to enable her to go to senior high school with her peers, she was devastated to not be able to go. We were devastated for her, it felt hopeless. Rexford Benon wrote this moving article about her dire situation: https://ateghana.org/no-wonder-she-gave-up/

We supported her throughout her pregnancy, helped her take care of her baby, and when she was ready - we enrolled her into our VocATE programme where she worked so hard.

And today we are so incredibly proud of Bertha, who against all odds, has qualified as a seamstress. She is skilled. She is empowered. She is building a good life for her baby. She is amazing.

Bertha's story is beautiful. It is a stark reminder of how tough life can be for the young women we support. And it is a profound reminder of the impact we can have, when we are kind, flexible, and there for the long run.

We can't wait to see what she does next ♥

An inspiring meeting at The Ghana High Commission 🇬🇭 We are so grateful for the passionate support of Her Excellency Sabah Zita Benson and The Honorable Mawutor N.K. Alifo who wholehearted celebrate our work and encourage us with so much kindness and enthusiasm.

It was a pleasure to also meet with Bola Ray to talk about exciting media opportunities for the future!

We’re so grateful for the support of the Ghanaian community and the beautiful friendships we have.

An egg-cellent end to the term for all of our children as 1200 eggs are boiled to celebrate the Easter break!

It's just 16p per child to give them all a well deserved treat, & some protein. One of our favourite ATE traditions 🐣
