Other Outreach Opportunities : Ghana Ministry
The Ghana Ministry is funded by donations from KUC members. Its mission is twofold: (1) to build wells which provide clean water in Ghana, West Africa, in the Ashanti region and beyond; and (2) to support our school in Krapa which the church has built and funded.
We have built a number of very effective water wells in villages and in schools and, on returning, have witnessed the improved health and hope that clean water brings. Financial contributions are accepted as KUC members are inspired to participate in this effort, and any amount is welcomed.
We have also worked with the people of Krapa to open a new school, called the Kenilworth Union Church Junior School. This school is the only one of its kind in the region and is serving middle school children whose education would likely have terminated without it. We have provided three rooms and a boys and girls bathroom. We have provided a well solely for the school. We are continuing to add more rooms and provide science equipment, library books, and computers. We would be happy to accept more funds to continue to make this school a special school with the best possible resources for the children. We dream that the school can keep adding a room and a grade each year, and that the children who began in sixth grade last year will be able to continue their education through high school. The government will provide desks and teachers but all other materials including the building itself will depend on the generosity of people here. Each year we return to the area to document the progress of our Ministry and we receive reports regularly that document the use of funds.
