Who We Are
The PAAJAF Foundation is dedicated to improving the quality of life of children in the Gbawe region of Ghana through education.
We believe education is the key for the fundamental transformation of our community toward a prosperous future and more just society. PAAJAF – being the only NGO in the region – provides access to high-quality education for underprivileged children who, without us, would likely be out of the educational system altogether.
While our curriculum is fully-compliant with the Ghanaian standard set up by the local government, we extended it by including topics such as physical education, digital literacy, diversity and inclusion, environmental protection, and public health. Through this comprehensive approach, we believe our children will grow to be responsible global citizens.

Help us Reopen Our School and Bring Relief to the Community
We are now welcoming our students back, after the mandatory lockdown that lasted 10 months. Together with their families, teachers and staff, we are a safe place for young children to learn, play, eat properly and be part of a loving community of approx. 515 people. Your support will help us through the reopening process of the school, in terms of bringing back children, support teachers and make our education project be alive again.
Save Our School and Bring Relief to the Community
When the COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020, our children were sent home for their safety. We continue to provide healthy meals to our children at home and are still providing financial support to our local staff to meet their basic needs. We must have the resources to keep our school running and welcome our children back.
Give One Year Scholarships for Children in Ghana
To this day, access to education in Gbawe is not a granted universal right. Children face many obstacles in their path toward attending school and receiving a formal education. It is important that schools identify these children and create mechanisms that prevent them from dropping out of school and missing the opportunity of a better future. PAAJAF is committed to providing education to all children in Gbawe regardless of their backgrounds, gender and learning constraints. A generous donation of $300 can keep a child in school for an entire year.

Inclusive Approach to Education in Diversity
Although there is a fair equity school attendance between boys and girls in Ghana, girls’ education should not be overlooked as an important element for inclusiveness. Girls are more likely to drop out of school to help with family care and housework. The distance to school and poor school conditions can also prevent children from attending. We are committed to providing education, in a safe environment, to all children in Gbawe regardless of their gender or socio–economic background.

Public Health Education to Children in Ghana
PAAJAF has been working toward socio-economic development in Gbawe by providing education to children aged 2-14. Apart from formal education, public health is an area that needs our attention. Educating children on correct hygiene and health habits will improve their health and the health of those in their community.
