The Story of this Project…
In Northern Ghana, most girls drop out of high school by the age 15 due to the quick jump in school fees at the high school level. Thanks to the support of Create Change Foundation, the six girls pictured below have successfully graduated and are now dreaming of obtaining university degrees.
With the average family earning $400 a year from the farm products they sell, girls very rarely make it to university in Northern Ghana, with the tuition costing about $500 each year.
Our Goal…
Ignite Leadership International has set a goal to help these six determined young women to fulfill their potential to become independent, knowledgeable experts in their field, and leaders in their communities.
As part of our More Than Green™ Program, we have partnered with the Vancouver-based charity, Create Change, to make this a reality.
Why Create Change?
In November 2011, I had an opportunity to meet 4 young women from Northern Ghana in Vancouver. (Shown in the photo) 
These girls shared their stories on how they overcame the many obstacles life presented in order to complete a high school education. Each young woman was bright, eloquent and had such vision and determination. This resonated with me. Education, leadership, change and sharing are key focuses for me in everything I do.
Having the opportunity to create this project will allow me to exact the changes I want to see throughout the world. Here at home I regularly volunteer my time and expertise, and make donations on a personal basis. This project will facilitate others to experience what I, and my clients, often take for granted — a good education!
