Donate to United Way Ghana to Modernize Learning at St. George’s Anglican School

Headquartered in Dzorwulu, Accra, and fully registered (Company Registration No: CG070891022, Tax ID C0062225847), our work extends far beyond urban centers — reaching underserved, often overlooked communities where opportunity has long been unevenly distributed.

Our mission is simple but ambitious: to create a Ghana where every child, every family, and every community has the tools they need not just to survive, but to thrive. Through equitable education programs, health initiatives, financial empowerment efforts, and environmental stewardship, we are helping to build a future where no one is left behind.

Today, we invite you to join us in writing a new chapter at St. George’s Anglican Basic School, where something as small as a classroom upgrade could mean a world of difference.

The Challenges

Imagine trying to learn geometry when the lines on the board are too faint to see. Imagine struggling to focus when every breath you take carries chalk dust into your lungs. For students and teachers at St. George’s Anglican Basic School, this is their daily reality. The school’s aging chalkboards and crumbling whiteboards aren't just an inconvenience — they are a barrier to learning and a threat to health.

• Chalk dust lingers in the air, irritating eyes and throats, triggering asthma attacks, and coating every surface.

• Respiratory issues have become an all-too-common part of school life.

• Classrooms lose their spark when teachers are forced to battle worn-out tools instead of inspiring minds.

• Students are left straining to see, struggling to concentrate, and slipping further behind in their studies.

The walls of St. George’s tell a story of perseverance, but they also whisper a plea for help — a plea for an environment worthy of the dreams these children carry.

Why It Matters

Education is often hailed as the key to opportunity — but what happens when the very space meant to unlock potential instead becomes a barrier?

When children can breathe clean air, when they can see their lessons clearly, and when they learn in an environment that says, "You matter," everything changes:

• Confidence blooms. Students are no longer distracted by discomfort; they are drawn into learning.

• Teachers shine. Equipped with modern tools, they can teach dynamically, creatively, passionately.

• Hope takes root. Classrooms become places of possibility, not just obligation.

Replacing the chalkboards and worn-out whiteboards at St. George’s is not a cosmetic upgrade — it is a life-changing intervention.
It means fewer sick days. Better test scores. Higher engagement. And most importantly, it signals to every child who walks through those doors: "You are seen. You are valued. Your education matters."

When we invest in clean, modern classrooms, we aren’t just improving walls and surfaces — we’re investing in minds, in health, and in futures.

Solution

Our vision for St. George’s is simple and powerful: Turn outdated classrooms into centers of inspiration and health.

Here’s how we will do it:

Replacing Every Outdated Board

• Install durable, high-quality whiteboards in all Junior High School classrooms, replacing dusty chalkboards once and for all.

• Equip classrooms with graph boards, enhancing the teaching of math and science through precise visual instruction.

Empowering Teachers to Transform Learning

• Provide starter kits (markers, erasers, cleaning supplies) so teachers can immediately integrate the new tools into interactive lessons.

• Offer quick training workshops on maximizing whiteboard usage for dynamic, student-centered teaching.

Building a Healthier, More Equitable Learning Environment

• Reduce classroom dust pollution, improving indoor air quality and protecting student and teacher health.

• Create engaging, vibrant classrooms that support deeper learning, clearer understanding, and a stronger connection between teacher and student.

This is more than replacing boards. It’s a full-scale renewal of the learning environment — a chance for students and teachers alike to breathe easier, dream bigger, and learn better.

Thank you for believing that something as simple as a new whiteboard can spark a lifetime of learning, and for standing with United Way Ghana in creating spaces where students don’t just survive, they soar.

Sincerely,

The United Way Ghana Team
