Onechild Ghana is a not for profit, international development organisation set up by Jamie and Darren Belnikoff initially to support one ICCES centre (Baworo) where Jamie spent several months working as a volunteer in 2002. In 2006/7 other former ICCES volunteers (Martin Gaunt, Ben Cummings, Julia Amoo, Robert Palmer and Oliver More) decided to link with Onechild. As a result it was decided to expand the scope of Onechild to cover all 14 ICCES in Ashanti Region. All of the Onechild team maintain regular contact with both students and teachers in Ashanti ICCES in Ghana. Onechild believes only the best educated have a chance to break out of the cycle of poverty and is determined to make quality education available to all in the developing world one child at a time. Onechild's primary objective is to advance the education of the pupils at all ICCES centres in the Ashanti region of Ghana by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities for vocational education. Working directly with the local population, Onechild raises money to fulfil its goals:
1. To enable children to go to school
2. To improve the quality of education in developing countries
3. To help students acquire essential skills to develop their own communities
4. To empower local schools enabling them to help themselves
