The recent news about Ghana’s Smart Schools Project (GSSP) and the “One Tablet One Student” initiative highlights the nation’s commitment to embracing the digital age in education. While this is a promising step, it’s crucial to ensure equitable access to these resources for all students, including those within the diaspora community.

  • Bridging the Digital Divide: We advocate for equal access to technology for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background or location.
  • Supporting Diaspora Students: We provide resources and guidance to diaspora students returning to Ghana, helping them navigate the educational landscape and access opportunities.
  • Empowering Teachers: We offer professional development opportunities to teachers, equipping them with the skills and knowledge to effectively utilize digital tools in their classrooms.
  • Community-Based Education Projects: We partner with local communities to create sustainable educational programs that address specific needs and challenges.

Join the Movement for Educational Equity in Ghana

As the government invests in the Smart Schools Project, GDAAR Foundation is committed to ensuring that all students benefit from this digital transformation. But we need your help.

Volunteer Your Skills:

Whether you’re a tech-savvy professional, a passionate educator, or simply someone who cares about the future of Ghana, your skills can make a difference. We’re seeking remote volunteers in:

  • Project Management
  • Administration
  • Advocacy

Manhyia Palace Transformed into Global Cultural Tapestry for Asantehene’s 25th Anniversary Celebration.

by Kwame Okyere Darko
written by Kwame Okyere Darko

By Joseph Bekoe

The Royal Seat of the Asante Monarchs, Manhyia Palace, became a breathtaking spectacle on May 12th, 2024, as the world’s diverse cultures converged to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II’s ascension to the Golden Stool.

The grand durbar, “Akwasidaekese,” marked the culmination of a series of events commemorating this historic milestone for the 16th Asantehene. A vibrant sea of colors filled the Dwabirem, the forecourt of the Royal Citadel, as traditional chiefs, adorned in regal kente cloth, gathered beneath a canopy of multi-colored umbrellas. The rhythmic pulse of Fontomfrom and Mpintin drums, accompanied by the melodious strains of Atenteben and Ntahra flutes, set the stage for the Asantehene’s grand entrance.

Even President Akufo-Addo joined the multitude of well-wishers who had traveled from across the globe, each clad in their own unique kente designs, to pay homage to the Asantehene and Nana Ama Konadu Yiadom, the Queen of Asante. The royal couple, resplendent in gold ornaments and majestic kente cloth, made their way through the streets of Kumasi in a palanquin, surrounded by a retinue of chiefs carrying the sacred Golden Stool.

Traditional rulers from every corner of Ghana, including the Awomefia of Anlo, Togbe Sri, and chiefs from the Volta, Central, Bono, and Ahafo regions, were among those who offered their congratulations and showered the Asantehene with gifts.

Call to Action:

The GDAAR Foundation, dedicated to preserving and promoting Ghana’s rich cultural heritage, invites you to experience the magic of our Ancestral Heritage Tours. Immerse yourself in the traditions and customs of Ghana’s diverse ethnic groups, and witness firsthand the beauty of cultural unity in diversity.

Your support is vital to our mission. Please consider donating to our GoFundMe campaign, and help us continue to share the wonders of Ghana with the world.

Ghana’s Education Strides Show Promise, but Quality Gap Demands Action from GDAAR Foundation.

by Kwame Okyere Darko
written by Kwame Okyere Darko

By Joseph Bekoe

Ghana has made impressive progress in expanding access to secondary education, a milestone reflected in the recent Legatum Prosperity Index. The nation’s leap from 144th to 137th in the overall ranking, coupled with a significant increase in secondary school enrollment, highlights a dedication to ensuring more young Ghanaians have the chance to learn.

However, the Index’s stark revelation that Ghana ranks a disheartening 166th out of 167 countries in education quality is a call to action that the Ghana Diaspora Advocacy and Resource Foundation (GDAAR) is committed to answering.

While access is crucial, GDAAR recognizes that quality education is the cornerstone of personal empowerment and national development. We understand that without a solid foundation in critical thinking, problem-solving, and relevant skills, Ghana’s youth cannot reach their full potential or contribute meaningfully to the nation’s future.

The GDAAR Solution: Bridging the Quality Gap

GDAAR is dedicated to more than just getting students in classrooms; we’re committed to ensuring they thrive within them. Our work focuses on addressing the root causes of the quality gap:

  • Teacher Training and Support: We empower educators with the tools and skills to deliver engaging, high-quality instruction.
  • Resource Enhancement: We equip schools with modern teaching materials, technology, and infrastructure to create conducive learning environments.
  • Curriculum Relevance: We advocate for curricula that align with 21st-century skills and industry demands, preparing students for the workforce and higher education.
  • STEM Education: We prioritize science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs to foster innovation and address the growing demand for technical skills.

Investing in Ghana’s Future: Your Support Matters

By donating to GDAAR’s GoFundMe campaign, you directly contribute to Ghana’s educational transformation. Your support will fund scholarships, teacher training programs, resource development, and advocacy efforts that create lasting change.

Donate now to GDAAR’s GoFundMe campaign

GDAAR believes that every Ghanaian child deserves a world-class education, and we are committed to making this a reality. Together, we can build a Ghana where education isn’t just about enrollment, but about empowerment, innovation, and a thriving future for all. Join us in our mission to bridge the quality gap and unlock Ghana’s true potential.
