PAAJAF school is which is PAAJAF Educational Institute (PEI) - our scholarship school - a multi-year project run with the Literacy Programme asanumbrella programme of PEI which provides Family Learning (Adult Education), After-school Programme, Library and IT training. The school has two streams of learning:
For Children –PEI endeavors to establish aneducational facility that will create an enabling environment in which all children ages 6 months to 15 years can develop their full potential. The project includes a boarding house facility, recreational facilities and good moral training to equip all its students for life. It is the aim of this project to establish a University in the future.
For Adults – the purpose of setting up Family Learning Classes (adult literacy classes) is totackle the high level of adult illiteracy that traps families in extreme poverty. Our findings indicate that Gbawe has insufficient number of schools and to add to it, poverty prevents a significant number of people from completing their education. The resulting lack of education and skills makes it difficult for individuals to secure employment. PAAJAF has decided in this way to support the community to build adult capacity.
We are thankful to our partner GlobalGiving and Church of Our Saviour in Netherlands – an English Speaking Church that has sponsored the pre-school project. The achievements of this project up to date, were marvelous and credit goes to all our diverse donors. We are proud to announce that we are now have 80 students, the school was supporting 64 children at January 1, 2016, the student population as at January 1, 2015 was 20 students. Of the current student population, 20 students are receiving full scholarship and 60 students are receiving partial scholarship. For Adults, PEI has 9 students currently receiving adult literacy education in English and in Basic Math.
The PEI centre was been rented for 2 years starting in November 2014, and the lease expires in October 2016. We need help to secure the venue at least for another one year or two, while we are working to secure funding to acquire school land to start the school building project.
Would you please help us? We need to raise $7000 to secure the school venue by October 2016. Please any amount makes a difference. We count on you.
Thank you
Philip
