About us
Our story
TheEduHelp started in 2016 with two donations to orphanages in Accra, Ghana. From there grew the commitment to take care of 8 children who had lost one or both parents, paying their school fees so they could access education —especially in rural areas, where schooling is fee-based and difficult to reach.
Today we support more than 30 children, girls and boys alike, providing school fees, uniforms and food depending on their needs. Our goal is to provide basic education within our means, with an outlook that includes school infrastructure and access to information technology in more areas and countries.
