Children and the young people of Pebi
There are more than 100 children living in Pebi and even more in the surrounding villages. For many years they have not had the opportunity to go to school. They now have that opportunity.
With funds from Kavli foundation we have established a kitchen garden in order for more than 120 of the children who attend the school to concentrate on their teachings. The kitchen garden provides a daily and nutritious meal for the school children. This means that the children are allowed to attend school with their parent's permission instead of helping the parents work to provide food. A bakery has also been established, which creates jobs and income for the small community.
The next big project is a state-approved school. That's why we've teamed up with Engineers Without Borders (EWB-DK) to build a new school funded by Operate and Ramboll Foundation. The building of the new school is important for Pebi's sustainability, as it will be a recognition of the small community of the Ghanaian state - as well as a future guarantee that the state covers the costs associated with running a school. In a society where most people live on less than 1 USD a day, it is paramount for the children's education.
