Ashanti Development’s scholarship scheme currently provides for 24 boys and 24 girls to continue their education in senior secondary school. Results so far showed that all 48 would have qualified for university if they’d applied, but unfortunately their funding ended after four years and so too did their education.
We therefore decided to look for donors who’d continue to support them through university at a cost of £277 a year for a minimum of four years. The good news is that so far we’ve found sponsors for at least five children. The cost is very low by comparison with the benefit and we’re hoping that many more sponsors may join them.
