Ghana: Ronald Alex International School

About the local hosting organization

After living and working abroad for over a decade, Mr. Ronald Nuako decided to relocate to Ghana with his family. They settled in Adenta Commandos, a newly developed neighbourhood on the outskirts of the capital city. There, he observed that many children in the community were not attending school. This was largely due to the high cost of private education, while the available public schools were located too far away for many families to access them. Motivated by this situation, Ronald, with the support of his friend Alex from Italy, decided to establish a school to provide quality and affordable education for children in the area. The school currently enrolls students from nursery level up to Junior High School 3. The aims of the school are: To provide quality and affordable education for children in the community. To train and equip teachers to deliver high-quality education. To instill strong moral values in students and guide them to become responsible citizens in the future.
