Our Mission

The mission of the foundation is to set up a library in the community (currently under construction) to promote reading for literary improvement. And secondly, to provide financial assistance to the needy, disadvantaged and financially challenged young people wishing to attend university for self improvement. The focus is Accra and surrounding areas.

The foundation believes that a good habit of supplementary reading in early years is the surest foundation to basic understanding and expansion of knowledge, a requirement for living. We also believe that university education advances the individuals enlightenment and provides the skills for a better role in society. We believe the lack of personal wealth should never be allowed to deny the poor, the needy, and the under privileged this basic modern social need. We stand by them exclusively. Indeed education is everything and we intend to spread it.
