HopE Ghana High School Tuition
Juliet
Juliet comes from economically disadvantaged family of five. Her mother is engaged in petty trading and her father is in part-time employment with a water company. Her family’s financial difficulties distracted Juliet from her studies. She considered dropping out of school entirely. HopE Ghana gave Juliet the necessary funds to complete high school. Right now, she is looking to enter college to become an accountant. Her life ambition is to put smile on the faces of street children one day. HopE Ghana would like to help her make that happen.
Mumuni
Abiba is a first year student in the Nurses and Midwifery Training College at Tamale, Ghana. She was one of the HopE Ghana first four High School Scholarship recipients. She is currently enjoying a partial HopE Ghana College Scholarship to pursue a nursing education and we hope to make it a full tuition from the 2015 academic year. Abiba comes from a family of six children. The death of her father brought untold hardships on her single mother and as a result, HopE Ghana sponsored her during the latter part of her high school education. She dreams of becoming one of the best midwives Ghana has ever had and to contribute to efficient health care in Ghana.
Roberta
Roberta’s father passed away suddenly when she was in high school. This created a great burden on her mother as she struggled to care for her two children from whatever she could sell to get a little money to feed them. HopE Ghana gave her a scholarship from the later part of her third year until she graduated from high school a year later. This support was a massive relief to her mother, who was also reeling under the burden of losing her husband so suddenly. Roberta is now in Berekum Nursing Training and Midwifery College. She still needs HopE Ghana’s support to complete her nursing training. Roberta hopes to become a great health care worker who can bring relief to the afflicted and suffering.
Jessica
Jessica is from a family of six. Her father does a variety of odd jobs; her mother is an assistant to a local canteen. With a family of six to care for, and with her father periodically out of a job, it was hard for Jessica to get an education. HopE Ghana gave Jessica boarding fees to help her complete her high school education. She is now applying for admission to University to study Information and Communications Technology. Her goal is to become a Database Administrator. HopE Ghana’s support to date is not enough for Jessica to realize her dream.
Francisca
Francisca is 16 years freshman in Notre Dame Girls High School. She is a brilliant and exemplary girl with exemplary character and was chosen by her Junior High School peers to be the school prefect. Unfortunately, coming from a family of six children with all of them in school, from primary to tertiary levels, has put a lot of financial strain on the parents; especially in today’s dire economic situation in Ghana. HopE Ghana needs your assistance and so, why not donate now?
Esther
Esther is a second year student of Notre Dame Girls High School, Ghana. She is 17 years old. Because her aged father is currently unemployed and her mother is a peasant farmer, it makes it so difficult for them to pay her fees, let alone provide the few provisions she needs for the three to four month terminal stay in school. The dire situation of Esther’s situation made the headmistress herself petition HopE Ghana on her behalf. We will need your help to support Esther’s dream.
Victor
Victor is 16 years old and a sophomore in high school. He is the youngest of three children. The family is currently struggling to meet their needs and Victor fears of dropping out of school as the family’s meager financial resources cannot meet the educational needs of Victor and his two other siblings. Why not help HopE Ghana save his dream?
Riet
Riet is 19 years old and in her third year of high school. In her final year of junior high school, she lost her dad.

Paul Miki
Paul Miki is 17 years old and in his second year of high school. He is the second oldest of five children. His father was a trader and was doing well until his small business hit the rocks. As a result, the family is experiencing acute financial hardship; the only income is whatever his mother, a petty trader, can bring. HopE Ghana would welcome your help in making it possible for Paul Miki to achieve his goal.
John Claude
John Claude is 18 and in his second year of high school. His mother passed away in July 2005. Unfortunately for John Claude and his six siblings, their father became disheartened after the death of his wife and has not been able to provide for their needs. Right now, John Claude’s eldest sister who is a petty trader is bearing the burden of educating John Claude and his other siblings. Please help HopE Ghana make John Claude’s dream come true.
Freddy
Freddy is 21 years old and in his second year of high school. He has four other siblings. When Freddy was only two years old, his father passed away. His father’s death meant that none of Freddy’s siblings would be able to go to school, the one tool that would help them find a job that could help support the family. Their mother is old and ill, Freddy works on his school holidays as a “laborer” on people’s farms to pay for his education. HopE Ghana and Freddy need you to help make his dream real.
Emmanuel
Emmanuel is the second child in a family of three children. When he was barely six years old, he lost his father, who was the family’s only breadwinner. His mother had to find a way to support the family. Meanwhile, like many in her situation, she trades and sells small items to bring in $40 a month, if she’s lucky. When Emmanuel is on vacation, he works as a hired hand supporting a group of masons to supplement the little money his mum brings home. Emmanuel needs our support. Why not help HopE Ghana save Emmanuel’s dream?
Bright
Bright is 19 years old and in his second year of high school studying science. Bright’s father died when he was in third grade. Bright and his two siblings’ care is left to his unemployed, uneducated mother—a subsistence farmer. Bright is currently a day student and commutes to school daily. HopE Ghana would like to get him into boarding school to cut cost of commuting and to provide him with an environment that is conducive for studies. At the moment, Bright works weekends and after school by fetching water for a group of masons as his part in bringing in the necessary funds to complete his high school education. Won’t you help us help Bright? It would mean the world to him.
Pius
Pius, like his brother Bismark, other siblings and their mother received help from HopE Ghana when the Foundation built a three-bedroom house with a hall, electricity, and modern appliances. Pius shared the loss of his dad, Felix Dasmani, in 2012. HopE Ghana made a commitment to this family. We are pleased that Pius is entering his sophomore year of high school this fall. Help us to help Pius and Bismark complete their studies, and fulfill their parents’ dream of giving them a better life.
Darlington
Darlington Pomaa is 16 years old and a first-year science student at Sunyani High. Darlington hopes to become a surgeon someday. Since her parents are separated, the care of Darlington and her three siblings has fallen entirely on her mother. It is difficult for her because she works at the department of parks and gardens and barely earns enough to meet the family’s most basic needs. Darlington wants to finish her studies and go on to medical school. It is not likely given the economic demands on her family. HopE Ghana wants to help Darlington complete high school and have the opportunity to realize her full potential.
Rhoda
Rhoda is 17 years old and a second year high school student at Sunyani High School. She has four siblings. Rhoda’s mother is a local food vendor and her father is a farmer. This young, enthusiastic young woman hopes to become a doctor someday. Without any financial assistance to pay tuition, room and board or purchase the necessary textbooks, her dream will not happen. HopE Ghana can help her get to medical school.
Shirley
Shirley is 18 years old, one of four children, and a member of the freshman class in high school. She is pursuing a course in Home Economics. When her parents divorced some seven years ago, little Shirley was forced to live with her auntie because her single mother could not care for her and her siblings. When her auntie’s small trade went bad under the harsh economic realities Ghana is going through, Shirley has to suffer the embarrassment and burden of constantly being asked to leave school because she cannot pay tuition and school fees. This is not good news for any studious mind. Shirley hopes to go the nursing school after she finishes high school so she can care for the aged and infirmed of society.
Rosemary
Rosemary is a second year high school student and from a family of six children. Rosemary’s father used to be a “pupil teacher” (Unprofessional, untrained teacher) and because he lacked the finances to go to high school to get the required teaching certificate, he lost his little source of earnings some years back. Rosemary’s father has since turned to subsistence vegetable cultivation which is woefully inadequate for the needs of the family. With the wife bringing home a paltry sum of $25.00 a month and sometimes even less, Rosemary and her siblings have a bigger hurdle to overcome if they are to complete their schooling.
Rebecca
Rebecca is a first year Home Economics student from a broken home. Her single mother is of meagre means caring for three kids all by herself. Rebecca dreams of becoming a nurse one day to care for her siblings and the sick. She is eldest of three children.
Priscilla
Priscilla is in high school and from a family of four children. Because of financial constraints, two of her older siblings have dropped out of school. Priscilla fears that a similar situation can happen to her as well. If Priscilla can find the support to finish high school and attend college, Priscilla hopes to become a journalist to champion the cause of those who are marginalized in society.
Mary
Mary is 17 years and aspires to be nurse someday. She is from a home of five children. Her older brother stayed at home after completing high school. Due to lack of funds, he could not go to college. Mary stands to suffer a similar fate. She is distracted because she is being sent home because she cannot pay her tuition fees. Mary’s worries were added to when her father died suddenly in 2014.
Emmanuella
Emmanuella, is a 16 year old girl and a freshman at Notre Dame Girls High School. She is the oldest of six siblings. The death of her father in January 2012 meant that their mother who is unskilled and unemployed had the sole responsibility to support the children. It was a situation that the poor single mother could barely manage on her own. Helping Emmanuella get through high school and college will be a great inspiration and incentive to finish her education so she can help her mother take care of her siblings by the time they are ready for school.
Faustina
Faustina is from a large family and in her second year of high school. Faustina dreams of becoming a motivational speaker some day and to mentor other kids with similar fates as she. Though brilliant, the economic hardships the family is going through had made an otherwise cheerful and outgoing girl reserved and timid with a negative outlook about her future. With the father not working and the mother with an unstable trade as a “hawker” of second hand goods, the children of six will have to take turns to complete high school and may be tertiary as well. Should Faustina and her sister Christabel even succeed in completing high school, without any assistance, they will have to wait for their two senior sisters who completed some years back to complete tertiary education before they can also attend. This is too demoralizing for such a young mind and young shoulders.
Christabel
Christabel is in her second year of high school and a science student with six sisters. She hopes to have a career in dentistry and philanthropy to support children from poor homes in her little village. Her father lost his job eight years ago and now periodically engages in ad hoc jobs while the mother sells second-hand clothing going door-to-door, a trade which barely earns her $30.00. Christabel misses home. If she visits, it’s another mouth to feed, and the family struggles enough to provide food for her immediate family. Already, she is scared she may not be able to complete her education to earn a living. But without education, Christabel has no chance of making it in today’s Ghana. All she hopes for is for a miracle to come her way. Could you be that miracle?
