Pathfinder Africa is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) dedicated to providing career guidance and mentorship sessions for final-year senior high school students in Ghana. Our mission is to connect students with opportunities such as scholarships, apprenticeships, and internships that they can leverage immediately after graduation. We aim to bridge the gap between successful individuals and others by providing access to valuable information and opportunities. We are looking to raise $50,000 and your support will make a significant difference in the lives of many young students in Ghana, helping them to realize their potential and build successful futures.

The Challenges:

Pathfinder Africa faces several challenges that impact our ability to deliver effective career guidance and mentorship to senior high school students in Ghana. Limited financial resources hinder program expansion, frequent mentorship sessions, and the development of comprehensive materials. Logistical issues, such as coordinating sessions in larger schools, also pose difficulties. Addressing these challenges is crucial for helping students make informed education and career decisions, contributing to community development.

Why It Matters:

The funds raised will have a profound impact on Pathfinder Africa's ability to support senior high school students in Ghana. By providing necessary financial resources, we can expand our mentorship programs to reach more students, ensuring they receive the guidance needed to make informed decisions about their education and career paths. With the funds, we can develop and distribute comprehensive career guidance materials, improving the quality and accessibility of information available to students. Additionally, enhanced logistical support will enable us to coordinate and conduct more frequent and effective mentorship sessions, particularly in larger schools where coordination has been a challenge.

Breakdown of Costs:

  • $20,000: Expansion of mentorship programs to more schools
  • $10,000: Development and distribution of comprehensive career guidance materials
  • $10,000: Enhanced logistical support for coordination and frequent mentorship sessions
  • $5,000: Maintenance of the online platform for additional resources and mentorship connections

Ultimately, these funds will empower us to make a lasting positive impact on the students' futures, helping them access opportunities and information that can lead to successful careers and personal development.

The Solution

The desired solution for Pathfinder Africa is to establish a comprehensive mentorship and career guidance program for senior high school students in Ghana.
