The children’s education project
“Education is the only way out of poverty and a fundamental building block for economic development, democracy and poverty reduction”
There is a lot to say about the importance of education.
Children are being deprived from an education, higher future productivity (as a result of the gained human capital), higher wages and thus a chance out of poverty.

The most important reason why parents do not send their children to school is lack of capital
-
The majority of the mothers are involved in petty trading.
-
The poor working conditions and lack of money to do serious business prevents the parents from earning enough money to send the children to school. Almost all the money is invested in the business.
-
The majority of the fathers are farmers
-
The farming is also not what it used to be due to the poor weather conditions, poor soil fertilities and poor farming equipment. There isn’t even enough money to buy the fertilizers to improve the farming.
-
Nowadays, the public schools (government schools) in Ghana are “free.”
-
Even when education is free parents often can’t afford the necessary schoolbooks, uniforms, chop money etc.
-
The children’s educational project is about finding sponsors who will support the financial needs of the education of a child.
