We work in Dekpor, Ghana where all residents live below the poverty level and face a daily struggle to survive.
Our areas of focus:
One of our directors lives in Dekpor — we are able to work with the residents of Dekpor to best service their needs. Our overhead is minimal (our only expenses are maintaining our domain status, annual financial statements, and foreign exchange costs), so your donation goes exactly where you allocate it! We are volunteers who work hard to make the most of every dollar donated.
Dekpor School Development Organisation is a registered Canadian charity and recognized NGO in Ghana. (Since 2011)

We're making a difference!
There is a wee team of dedicated women in York Region who are working hard behind the scenes to produce Kits4Girls! A grateful shout out to Paula, Maria, Anne-Marie, and Saskia!
The leaking roofs are getting a big make over! The project page for the three school buildings and Dekpor Central Shops will be ready for you to see shortly!
Yippee! The distribution of basics kits is starting! Stay tuned for the album early May.
Yay! The Basics Kits are being put together now! Thanks to you, the students from grade 6 and up will be receiving undies and camisoles/singlets. Loads of photos will be shared soon.
Problem: more roofs are leaking! Solution: three wonderful supporters have stepped up to cover the $65,000 job of replacing the roofs on three of the school campus buildings and the Dekpor Central Shops! A profound thanks to: Anonymous Friend #1, Anonymous Friend #2, and Busch Family Foundation! Stay tuned for the album in our Projects section later this month.
Well, that was a whirlwind! The collection started on Tuesday and by Friday TWO full loads made it to the shipper! See the contributions in the album on the Shipping Project Page! Thanks to all who gave!
