The Primary School in January 2010
Our goal this year is to begin the construction of a bookshelves within each classroom.
Progress in Assin,Nsuta
Prior to 2001, the children attended school in this wooden hut.
Original School Building
This is the moment when our work began. Below is a picture of the new school in its early stages.
Early Stages of the new school in 2001
Today, the six classrooms harbor over 500 children from Class 1 through 6 (1st thought 6th grade). Several of these children walk to this school from nearby villages to fill the classes. A decent school for these children will give them the opportunity to be not only good Ghanaian citizens, but also good world citizens.

“Every child deserves a book” – Donor
Our view is that every child should have their own textbook as well as access to a library to cultivate a good learning experience. The children of Assin-Nsuta are lacking basic textbooks, novels, picture-books and other educational resources.
Since 2005, the Akumaning-Brewu foundation has collected new and used textbooks, novels, and school supplies to fill this important need. To date, we have donated over 10,000 books! We continue to seek donations of complete volumes of elementary school level textbooks and novels.
Second Textbook Delivery
One book per child
