About us
The Ghanaian-German association "Schulwälder für Westafrika e.V." (School Forests for West Africa) is committed to environmental protection by focusing our work on the environmental education of children and young people from both countries within the framework of school partnerships. In doing so, we follow a learning-by-doing approach: In our tree nursery in Ghana, we raise seedlings using environmentally friendly measures (e.g. no pesticides) and then distribute them free of charge to our partner schools in the central region of Ghana. There, the school children plant the trees in their schoolyards and take care of them. In this way, they contribute to the reforestation of the rainforest and at the same time get shady places for lessons and for playing. As additional motivation, the pupils receive solar lamps. These solar lamps are a clean and cost-effective alternative to candles or paraffin lamps, which are harmful to the environment and health.

Liebe Unterstützer*innen des Vereins „Schulwälder für Westafrika e.V.“,
herzlichen Dank für Ihre großzügigen Spenden und Ihre fortlaufende Unterstützung!
Durch Ihr Engagement schreiten die Bauarbeiten am internationalen Umweltbildungszentrum in Nyakrom weiter voran. Dank privater Spenden konnte das Bad bereits fertiggestellt werden – auf den aktuellen Fotos sind Dusche und Toilette zu sehen. Als nächstes steht der Ausbau der Küche an, damit das Gebäude Schritt für Schritt vollständig ausgestattet werden kann. Ende Oktober wird unser Vorsitzender, Herr Dr. Essiamah, nach Ghana reisen, um die weiteren Arbeiten zu begleiten, die nächsten Bauabschnitte zu planen und neue Kooperationen vor Ort zu stärken. Mit jedem Fortschritt kommen wir unserem Ziel näher, in Nyakrom einen lebendigen Lernort für Umweltbildung und Nachhaltigkeit zu schaffen.
Vielen Dank, dass Sie diesen Weg mit uns gehen! 🌱

Dear supporters of “School Forests for West Africa e.V.”,
thank you very much for your generous donations and your continued support!
Thanks to your help, construction work at the International Environmental Education Centre in Nyakrom is steadily progressing.
With private contributions, the bathroom has now been completed – the latest photos show the installed shower and toilet. The next step will be to expand the kitchen, gradually equipping the building for full use. At the end of October, our chairman, Dr. Essiamah, will travel to Ghana to oversee the ongoing work, plan the next construction stages, and strengthen local partnerships. With every step forward, we are getting closer to our shared goal: creating a vibrant place for environmental learning and sustainable development in Nyakrom.
Thank you for being part of this journey! 🌿
