L & A MEMORIAL ACADEMY

“To provide financial support to the L & A Memorial Academy in Ghana, West Africa in its mission to promote education, to help alleviate hunger, to provide increased healthcare awareness to disadvantaged children and their families; to work to reduce illiteracy, poverty, and poor health conditions in Africa by creating and supporting programs dedicated to improving the education and health of disadvantaged children and their families.”

This is the first school that the Foundation is directly supporting in Ghana and will serve as a model for other school support in Ghana and other African countries. The school was started in 1998 with 3 nursery children in a small hut in Mallam, one of the poorest areas on the outskirts of Accra, Ghana. It is now housed in a brick complex with 325 children and 32 teaching and support staff. The school goes from Nursery (2 year olds) to the 8th grade (14 year olds).

• The Foundation seeks to provide support to build the school into one of the finest schools for the education and training of young people.
• The Foundation seeks to replicate the success model of the L &A Memorial Academy in other parts of Ghana and other countries in Africa.
