It all began in 1995, when Dr. Kwabena Anaman, a resident of Sydney decided to improve the dilapidated schools in his hometown of Nsaba. He made an appeal to some selected Australian Churches and Schools in Sydne. The following are some of the major schools, churches, and individuals, including Dr. Anaman and his immediate family, which freely gave from their savings and organized fundraising activities so that Nsaba school children could have a break in life.Knox Grammar School, Wahroonga, Sydney

A total of $30,040 was raised between 1995 and 2004. Within a
three phase implementaion period, Dr. Anama used all the monies to provide all the various Junior Secondaty Schools at Nsaba with clean pipe borne water, modern water-closet toilet facilities; as well as refurbish broken down school structures; roof classroom blocks and invigorate the faded walls of chuch buildings with fress paint. Thanks to these generous Australian donations and the forsight of Dr. Anaman, a Foundation patron, Nsaba school children now enjoy basic modern conveniences. They can finally concentrate on serious academic work.
Conchita was here...One of our Patrons, Dr. Conchita Ndege Kemei, paid us a special visit here at Nsaba in March from her native country of the United States of America. She is a Professor and Head of the Lyceum at the A&T University, in Greensboro, North Carolina. We thank her for her generous donations.Our role-model
Miss Helena Arko is the present District Director of Education in the Awutu-Efutu-Senya District, Winneba. She trained as a school teacher after completing her Primary/Middle School in her home town of Agona Nsaba. She holds a Diploma in Theatre Studies, a B.A and an MA degrees, respectively, in Linguistics and Public Administration; all from the University of Ghana, Legon. She has worked as a Classroom Teacher, an Environmental and Cultural Studies Organizer, as well as held many senior key positions in the Ghana Education System (G.E.S). Impressive, isn’t it. Well she is also a Patron of our Foundation. Her advise is that the girl child should study hard, socialize, share ideas, but keep her dignity as a woman.
They marched on girl child day.
April 2006 was girl child month which was celebrated countrywide by all school girls. At Nsaba it was marked by talk shows and route marches throughout the town with the full participation of our girls.
