Ghana: Lighthouse Christian Mission School

About the local hosting organization

The Lighthouse Christian Mission School is a centre of academic excellence that provides education and support to all children in the community. The children look up to their teachers and role models, who help them develop confidence, a strong sense of pride, and the ability to lead good lives through academic achievement and responsible citizenship. The school’s main goal is to give children from the community, especially those from low-income families, access to education and bring them one step closer to a secure future. At Lighthouse School, learning is not the only priority; the health of the children is also important. Safe drinking water is available for the children, and they also receive a warm lunch every day.
