WHO WE ARE
Small charity, practical help
Chance for Africa is a Scottish registered charity (SC044936). We support community development among children, young people and disadvantaged groups in Ghana.
Our focus is education in Information and Communication Technology (ICT), designed around the realities of the communities we work with.
WHAT WE’VE DONE
Technology that changes what’s possible
01
30 young people connected
We built and delivered internet-ready, remote-learning-ready computers to around 30 young people in Northern Ghana.
02
A safer school computer lab
We supplied electrical cables and switches to help refurbish the computer lab at Sandabbi School, so children can learn safely.
03
A window on the world
With a computer and the internet, students reach learning materials, new information and people far beyond their own community.
WHY IT MATTERS
In many communities in Northern Ghana, books and learning materials are scarce, and what exists is often old or irrelevant. A computer and an internet connection change that. Young people can study further, find work, start businesses and become better-informed parents.
Every donation goes to the work
Chance for Africa is funded entirely by donations and holds no reserves. Whatever you give goes straight into equipment and learning for young people in Ghana.
