The Educational Support Program at Celeste Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that every girl, regardless of her background, has the opportunity to pursue quality education. Many young girls in Sunyani and surrounding communities face challenges such as poverty, early marriage pressures, and limited resources, which hinder their ability to remain in school.
Our program addresses these barriers through:
-
Scholarships & Sponsorships – Providing financial support for tuition, uniforms, and educational materials for brilliant but needy girls.
-
After-School Tutoring & Mentorship – Extra academic support in core subjects and mentorship from female role models.
-
Literacy & Numeracy Programs – Helping out-of-school girls and women develop essential reading, writing, and numeracy skills.
-
School Supply Drives – Distribution of books, stationery, sanitary pads, and other essential learning items.
-
Parental & Community Engagement – Workshops to sensitize families on the importance of girls’ education and discourage early marriages.
Impact:
-
Over 100 girls have received full or partial scholarships.
-
Literacy classes have empowered over 300 women and girls with basic reading and writing skills.
-
Dropout rates in partnering schools have reduced significantly through our support and advocacy.
