📉 In Ghana, 1 in 4 girls drop out before completing Junior High School.
Over 1.2 million children of primary and JHS age are currently out of school, and girls carry a disproportionate share of that burden. Teenage pregnancy remains the leading cause of dropout for girls at the JHS/SHS level, and on average, a Ghanaian girl spends just 4 years in school before poverty, early marriage, or a lack of basic learning resources pushes her out.
Behind every one of these numbers is a girl whose potential the system failed to protect.
Through our “Let Girls Excel Africa” program, Asaasiam Vision International is working to close this gap — one girl, one school, one resource at a time. This outreach provided essential learning materials directly to girls in school, removing one more barrier between them and their education.
This work is made possible through the continued partnership and generous support of the Akuraase Foundation, whose commitment strengthens our ability to reach more girls, in more communities, with the resources they need to stay in school and thrive.
Investing in a girl’s education doesn’t just change her future — it changes her community’s.
Asaasiam Vision International remains committed, alongside partners like Akuraase Foundation, to a Ghana — and an Africa — where every girl has the chance to excel.
