Futurestars Charity, an international NGO based in Tema in the Greater Accra Region provides support to promote education in selected communities and schools in Tema & Accra in Ghana.
The Charity which was established in Ghana in 2018 supports six schools in Ghana and one school in Togo, where they organize similar projects and activities to improve the level of education in these seven partner schools in the two countries.
According to the Ghana Country Director, Mr. Emmanuel Okyne -Tetteh, the aim of the Charity is to support the partner community schools and schoolchildren through a dedicated sports & education programme in partnership with the local education authorities, prompting discipline, academic skills and essential life skills within each child.
The Charity also train the children who attend the Futurestars schools on recreational activities and physical education. The sport section is delivered by full time qualified coaches which motivates the children to attend school daily as well as a break from learning all week.
With over 150 hours of coaching per week from their coaches, over 5,000 children are engaged every week, with the coaches also running after-school development centre sessions for girls and boys who show interest in netball and football.
