Help to break the digital divide by teaching ICT at schools đź’»

The experience

The future is digital, but access isn’t equal. In rural Ghana, many students study IT only in theory, without computers or hands-on practice. Our NGO, alongside local IT startups, provides practical IT and soft skills training to unlock talent and create real opportunities. Join us in helping bridge the digital divide.

Program Details

In Ghana, the digital divide between public and private schools is growing wider every day.
Grow Ghana believes every child’s future matters equally. That’s why we are bringing laptops, hands-on training, and hope into public classrooms. We want every student to have the chance to grow and to step confidently into a digital world.

Activities & Shift

How does a week at Grow Ghana look like?
We usually work from Tuesdays to Saturdays.
During Tuesday and Friday we are visiting the public schools.
There we teach ICT skills using scratch. When we are not teaching we are having office work, this means everybody works on their daily tasks, for example updating the website, posting on social media or doing the fundraising.
On Saturday it’s different, there we only teach on private schools.
With the private schools Grow Ghana is getting money, that’s why our curriculum there is also including Robotics and AI learning.
