The vision is to develop, together with the community, a model system of non-governmental Community owned and supported schools that are able to bring high quality education within walking distance of underprivileged children like those in Apese. We think if this model works, it holds potential for poor under served rural areas as well as urban slums beyond Apese. The vision is to provide education of a high enough quality to help the community to develop and the children to progress through to higher education. In the long term, it is also important to better understand how to support and develop the community as a whole, and use the lessons from this project to support similar poor rural communities across Ghana. The vision thereefore also includes exploring how to have late afternoon or evening functional literacy classes for the parents that include the transmission of income generation skills that can improve their access to resources to support their children’s education. The priority is functional literacy and actively reaching out to the parents to understand and support the principle of a community school, despite the fact that many of them are illiterate. This is important since for sustainability, the ability of the parents of the children to support this vision is critical.
