Nana Dogo told me the story of Eunice a girl in the tenth grade at Kafanchan Senior Secondary School. This girl just happened to be leaving with her mom and her belongings when Nana arrived at the school (Nana serves as school principal). When the girl, named Eunice, was questioned as to why she was leaving, it was discovered that she was in arrears with her school account- her tuition had not been paid. The rule is that if tuition is left unpaid for more than one trimester, the student is asked to withdraw. Eunice was in tears as her mother shared that her father had passed away. An uncle had stepped up to pay for the school fees - but he, too, had recently died. The mother shared that she was just now getting back to work after being in a serious accident. The only schooling that she could afford for her daughter was a government school.  Esther (right) and her mom

The board of Africa Education Partnership, recently decided that we would fund the drilling of a well at each of our school sites, where they have no access to clean drinking water. We have discovered that there is a direct link between student health and their education. Having access to clean, safe water for drinking and sanitation can make a difference between life and death.  |
