Every African child deserves an education. It’s a tragedy, but one we can all address and begin to change. If we all join together and donate to the building of schools we can offer these children hope and a chance at a better life.

Rural Hope Foundation is a non-profit foundation and shall be operated exclusively for educational and charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the corresponding section of any future Federal tax code.
The specific objective and purposes of Rural Hope Foundation shall be: A public charity that is organized exclusively for charitable, education and health maintenance under section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code or any future tax code. The Foundation will build schools in extreme poor communities; provide text books, computers and printers. In many instances, the Foundation shall also provide medical equipment and prescriptions to these communities where health care facilities are lacking.
In most African Countries, governments are not able to provide classrooms for all the schools and the area that are hit hard, are the extreme poor areas, where nothing gets done or are completely forgotten by the national and local authorities. There are therefore thousands of schools found under trees or in temporary ramshackle structures. This definitely is not conducive to learning. The Foundation would endeavor to build schools with labor provided by the community to replace these schools “under trees”.
The importance of education cannot be overemphasized. Some of the benefits derived from such an endeavor include the following:
• Education lifts nations out of instability and provides a more promising future for the young ones.
• Educating and retaining the girls up to secondary school level would reduce future child deaths and improve future maternal health.
• Education creates opportunities for sustainable economic growth now and in the future.
• Education serves as a quick and easy way to migrate from poverty to self-dependency and self-sustaining.
The importance of education cannot be overemphasized.
The Rural Hopes Foundation’s first project was the construction of a four classroom Senior High School for the children of
Daboya and its wide catchment area in Northern Ghana. Prior to the construction of the Wasipe Senior High School, students had
to travel either 55 miles to Damongo or 40 miles to Tamale to attend school. Most students were unable to make this daily journey.
The Wasipe Senior High School opened its doors with 103 first year students in 2015.

A personal donation of $10,000 from the President and Founder of Rural Hope Foundation (RHF) and with the support of the community (providing labor) and the Local District Assemble providing additional funding, the seed for the Rural Hope Foundation was sown. The Foundation and the District Local Government were able to build a ten classroom senior high school for the children of Daboya and its wide catchment area in Northern Ghana.
Members of the North Gonja District Assembly visited Wasipe Senior Secondary School to interact with teachers and students of the school. The Chiefs and people of Wasipe Traditional Area and North Gonja District Assembly are very much grateful for your singular effort, God Bless.
