The FFI model, or "farm-for-impact" model, is a unique approach developed by Cocoa360 to address the challenges faced by cocoa farming communities in Ghana.
The model provides 300 girls access to quality tuition-free early childhood education and healthcare. The community members provide labor on community-run cocoa farms and are trained by our agric officers. Revenues from the sale of the farm proceeds are then used to eliminate non-tuition expenses such as books, uniforms, daily meals, and transportation costs. Also, the village committee is empowered to lead the decision-making process in a bottom-up approach.
The C360 Education Access Initiative is a beacon of hope for the rural cocoa communities, where poverty and deprivation have made education an unattainable dream for many children. At Cocoa360, we believe every child deserves the chance to learn and reach their full potential, regardless of their background or circumstances. That's why we are committed to removing every barrier to education that stands in their way.
With your support, we have been able to make wonderful transformations in the lives of these 300 young girls by offering them quality free education. The good news is that our community library has been refurbished with lots of books and in the next academic phase we will be receiving our first batch of young girls in Junior High School (JHS) and an additional 30 girls.
The impact of this program cannot be overstated. It has transformed the lives of countless children in the cocoa communities, giving them the gift of education and the hope of a better future.
Your contributions allow us to support projects with our partners and make a genuine difference in the education, safety, and well-being of our students.
Thanks for believing in us!
