Supporting Africa By Rural Endeavours
The Sabre Charitable Trust is a small charity working on a big issue: Education. Through our Whole School Improvement Programme we are working with the local education authorities to make school a better place for Ghanaian children and encourage them to stay in education for longer.
By building and improving schools, ensuring that sufficient teaching and learning materials are available, and supporting fun extra curricular activities, we are helping to build a better future for school children in Ghana.
Since its creation, the Sabre Trust has focused its attention on the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA) District in Ghana’s Central Region. KEEA District has a rich cultural heritage, being home to two UNESCO World Heritage sites, but it suffers from all of the typical socio-economic development problems that afflict much of rural Ghana. The poverty of the district is reflected in the lack of resources to support education and youth initiatives – rural schools typically lack teaching and learning materials, and many school buildings are in need of significant infrastructure improvements.
The Sabre Trust operates three complementary programmes in Ghana and the UK to deliver against these goals:
Whole School Improvement Programme to improve the delivery of education services in the KEEA District by targeting five aspects of the school environment
Schools for Schools Programme which supports partnerships between UK and Ghanaian schools; and through them we facilitate information exchange and cultural awareness building.
Integrated Development Experience Africa Programme which aims to match the skills of international volunteers to the needs of partner communities and the projects implemented by the above two programmes. |
