Be the Change Foundation in Elmina, Ghana

Children from poor families often have reduced educational opportunities. In turn, low educational and qualification opportunities reduce their chances of escaping poverty. This is a cycle that "Be the Change Foundation" tries to break. In addition to education, the organisation supports these children in meeting their basic needs.

The official non-governmental organisation, which operates in Ampenyi, in the Central Region of Ghana, is committed to supporting children from families with poor backgrounds. The project includes a school and training centre where educational and skills training is designed to help reduce poverty. In addition to expanding educational opportunities, meeting the children's basic needs is part of the organisation's primary vision. To this end, children are provided with healthy food, clothing, shelter and health care.

bezev has been working with the Be the Change Foundation since 2018 and has been sending "weltwärts" volunteers to the organisation since 2019.

Currently, we are supporting the Be the Change Foundation in its work to educate the population about health and hygiene measures and to distribute masks and disinfectants in order to contain the spread of the Corona virus among the population. Health workers conduct these awareness campaigns and consultations on hygiene measures according to WHO standards in the field. The organisation urgently needs donations to purchase and distribute protective equipment and hygiene items, such as masks and disinfectants, as well as medical equipment for a local health facility with hospital beds and oxygen equipment.
