In Santrokofi Bume, a village in the Volta region, we established a place for kids to come in the afternoons. Here they can play and study, be creative and do sports far away from school routines. In the „Kids' Corner“ the children can draw and paint, participate in theatre
projects, English classes, computer classes and sport teams. Up to today more than 3000 children have taken part in those activities.
In Santrokofi many voluntary workers supervise the Ghanian children and teenagers in their free time. Because of the lack of buildings for the activities mentioned before we already built a computer school, a
library annex, a play and a sports ground.
The families in Santrokofi are often not able to afford school books and uniforms for their children. That is why we want to finance uniforms, books and copybooks for those most in need, so that they are able to send their kids to school as well.

Tax deductible
Information about trustworthiness of the project
We forward 100 % of your donation

The German fiscal authorities acknowledged that this project is charitable - You receive a contribution receipt.

Apart from checking the notice of exemption of the German fiscal authorities ("charitability"), betterplace does not assess this project. Since there are thousands of projects from all around the world and since there are a variety of criteria on which an estimation can be based, only one group can make assessments efficiently: the betterplace community, i.e. you. (Furthermore, as you know, projects can never checked with 100% certainty of the results- especially in the fundraising sector.)

Please inform yourself about the project through our "web of trust": look at the project responsible (why don't you ask a question about your possible donation?), the project description and the news from on-site. You can also take a look at the comments and opinions, previous donors, visitors and internet users have left so far.

We suggest that you support projects, when you know the carrier organisation or the project responsible, or if a trustworthy person recommended the project to you - or if the web of trust convinced you of the project's trustworthiness.

betterplace.org forwards 100 percent of your donation to the project carrier or in cases where there is no carrier organisation to the project responsible. The recipient is obligated to use the money for the purpose that was defined in the description of the project.

When you donate you have the option to add a "tip" for betterplace.org to the 100 percent. Through the tips we finance the operation (servers etc.) and development (programming etc.) of our platform. Even though we are charitable, we also have to pay our bills. But of course your tip is completely voluntary. If you donate some money to us - thank you! Your team from betterplace.org.
