GMAD needs a
​new school!
DONATE
In 2017, when GMAD was given a certificate to start our own school, we didn’t have a place to hold classes, so we quickly converted our chicken coop into a schoolhouse. The chicken-coop school has served us well, but it is loud, has become crowded, and lacks the tools for greater learning.
​

A distinguished architect in Washington, Troy McOmber, has agreed to design and help build a new school for GMAD. Troy has selected a small team of volunteers from his firm that have drawn up plans for the school. Earlier this year, Troy and his wife, Jema, traveled to Ghana where they met with our in-country directors, surveyed the land, held meetings with local contractors and tradesmen, and visited other schools around Ghana.

The new school will serve children during the day and provide vocational training for adults at night. The evening vocational training classes will include detergent manufacturing, cooking, barbering, and sewing instruction.
CHECK OUT THE PLANS
The plans for the new school also incorporate design concepts provided to GMAD last semester by students in the Interior Design, Construction Management, and Pre-Architecture programs at Weber State University.

We plan to begin construction in the coming months and have the school near completion by the end of this year.
