Currently the SCT is driven by the Trustees/Directors. Behind them is a volunteer
network of professionals (some of whom we employ as and when required) in the UK and a huge variety people involved
in Ghana. Links have been established between the SCT, local education authorities, various non-governmental bodies
and the local Ghanaian communities and individuals, without whom none of what we do would be possible.
In the UK our Education Director is responsible for developing the education exchange programme between UK and
Ghanaian schools and overseeing our literacy and vocational projects in Ghana; our Development Director is responsible
for ensuring everything we do is done ethically, in the best interests of the communities we support, and in harmony
with government and donor development plans; our Operations Director is responsible for the liaison between the various
organisations involved, day-to-day management of the SCT and he also acts as the Expedition Director for our Ghana
Project Expeditions.
In Ghana we have our Country Representative who is supported by a Community Liaison Manager and a Building
Projects Manager as well as head teachers, community elders and leaders of partner organisations. If, after your
expedition, you would like to get involved please be assured that you would be most welcome! There is always
plenty to do, and everyone has something to offer. |

In addition to Schools, the SCT also provides support to the health and conservation sectors. Our programmes
are targeted to support areas of weakness in the local education sector, particularly within kindergarten
education and vocational training for young adults. Both areas are under financed and have only recently
been recognised by the Ghanaian authorities as part of the formal education system.
