GIVE (Ghana Initiative for Valued Education) started with the grass roots efforts
of one individual who quickly found others who wanted to help. The results are a testament to the notion that a
few like minded individuals can make a significant difference in people's lives. GIVE has focused on accomplishing
two primary objectives in Ghana, West Africa; fund the construction of classrooms and provide academic scholarships.
While we have received corporate support, the majority of our funding is from individual donors and proceeds from our
annual benefit which includes a silent auction. We are successful because we are frugal with our donations
and a GIVE representative works directly on-site with contractors and educational professionals to ensure
our funds are spent wisely. All GIVE positions are voluntary and there are no GIVE funds
used for travel or other personal expenses.
