ABOUT

Because all of the children at the Ghana Make a Difference
(GMAD) home have come from dire circumstances many of them
had never been to school.

The GMAD Academy of Learning was created so we could better
meet the needs of the kids who were being brought to the GMAD
children’s shelter and to accommodate some of the children
locally who also have unique circumstances.

Our converted "chicken coop" school served us well for many years, however, more kids are learning outside of this school (under the shade of a tree or pavilion) than inside of it and there are still so many more kids in the area that aren't going to school. The time is now to make this school happen! 

Unlike most schools in Ghana, this will be a unique learning center. Our proven tech-centered, learn at your own pace, curriculum will be improved upon. Our capacity will be increased by almost 150% while only increasing our costs by 40%. There will be a dedicated special needs classroom, library & tech room, sewing & vocational training room. 

Payment 1 of 3 has been made and construction has started! The 2nd payment is due in February and the expected completion is in July of 2026. We are still fundraising and finding sponsors for several classrooms. This classroom, "The People's Classroom" will be sponsored by the folks who contribute to this fundraiser! 

This school will be an impact machine that we'd like you to be a part of! Donate to sponsor this classroom! 

THE GOAL:

​$25,000 to fully sponsor the construction for this classroom. If we hit $30,000 then we will have covered the teachers salary for two years in this classroom! An implied goal is to raise the money so that there is no pause in construction.

GMAD has a 100% giving model, so ALL of your donation will give freedom and opportunities to children who have been enslaved and exploited. 

3  FOCUS AREAS

A medical tragedy or a lack of education were often one of the two reasons that a child's family was broken apart.

Children's Shelter

Children rescued from slavery, abandonment, or those that have special needs are being cared for at GMAD. For the first time ever, the adults around them have their best interest in mind. The kids learn, play and thrive while social workers reintegrate them into society. 
Picture
Medical

Each year, 4 medical missions take place, hosted and organized by GMAD. Dental, Eye and two surgical missions. Hundreds of people obtain their long awaited, life changing surgery! For better care, we have a medical clinic at GMAD that is operational year round.
Education 

​Most children that get rescued and brought to GMAD have never attended school before. At GMAD children learn at their own pace using technology. Each child gains the practical know how of computer and english literacy, among other important essentials.

MISSION
​We shelter children who have been rescued from forced labor trafficking, abandonment, or who have special needs until we are able to reintegrate them with their biological family or to place them in a new family.

We preserve families and provide a path to self reliance through shelter, life skills, education and medical care.
