Long-term supporter Brian Kim believes that ‘continued education through senior secondary school and eventually through university, is the key that will eventually lift large parts of the community out of poverty’.
In 2021, he launched a scholarship scheme. Each year, the scheme supports one boy and one girl from every senior high school in the District to continue their studies for three years. This meant he funded:
Year 1: 12 students
Year 2: 24 students
Year 3: 36 students
Year 4 (2025): 48 students
He specified that the students had to come from among the poorest families, as well as being talented and hardworking.

Scholarships for University
After three years of operation, all the sponsored students on the ‘Scholarships for School’ project were qualified and eligible for university, but lacked the funds  to progress through university each year. So Brian launched an appeal on their behalf.
So far, we’ve raised enough to sponsor five students through university. But many more are waiting.

Help Open the Door to Education
With your support, we can help give more students the opportunity to build a better future for themselves and their communities.
Just £1,100 covers a four-year university scholarship – that’s only £275 a year to transform a student’s future.
Every donation, big or small, helps unlock potential.
Justice Nkwanta, who comes from Ashanti Development’s home village of Gyetiase, was one of the earlier students we sponsored. He has now completed his university course of politics and economics and is thinking of changing to law. Students like Justice make us realise what a lot many people can do if they’re only given half a chance.
