Together we accomplish projects, connect WHH to resourceful individuals and organizations, and create sustainable programs. We make a real difference to real people in a local, grassroots effort.

OK, you guys, break is over...

OK, you guys, time to get to work…

Oh yes, it’s been fun playing on the beach for the past 3 weeks or so... 


Or helping Mom with her market stand...


Or doing your nursing practicums in a hospital... 


And, yes, Kundum Festival is OVER. The music was great, the food was plentiful, the drumming, the dancing!! After all, it’s a festival meant to thank God for harvest and food and family…what a celebration! But good things do end...


Lots of drumming, with guys in funny costumes!


And so much DANCING...

 BUT, now it’s time for school. Time for you students to do your part, yes! And you will LOVE it!

After all, your country is trying its best to get you all educated. As of this year, Kindergarten through all three years of Senior High School is tuition-free and boarding if warranted. Your schools are jam-packed! But we know, for some of you, help is still needed.

--You may live in an isolated fishing community, way too far from a government school to reasonably walk and the closest school is private… like Maako School in a small fishing village...

Maako Preparatory School
--Or you may attend a vocational school, which are not yet tuition-free...

Or you may have done very well in senior high and are now in nursing or technical college…with substantial costs. Or one of the many other reasons why school may still be difficult...

So, we’ve helped Western Heritage Home, our affiliates in Ghana, support:
  • 2 pupils in Manye Academy
  • 2 students in Asanta Nursing
  • 1 student in Ghana National College Senior High for the Blind
  • 10 students in Axim Community Development Vocational Technical Institute
  • 40 pupils in Axim Christ the King Academy
  • 15 pupils in Esiama Maako Future Leaders Preparatory School
  • 1 student in Takoradi Technical University

We thank our fellow "investors" and our dedicated Western Heritage Home colleagues who have made it possible for these 71 students to go to school.
OK kids!! Now it's up to you!!
