The Nsaba Science Foundation was founded in 2002 by Professor Kojo Fosu. After returning to his home village upon retirement, he saw the lack of education and opportunities for many of the youth, especially adolescent girls, in the rural community. Together with a few local teachers they came up with a program that would offer free computer training and after-school classes in Math, Science, and English. Classes began in September of 2003; with one computer and 10 girls from JSS 1 (Grade 7). In 2005, with the help of SYTO Ghana, the Foundation started receiving international volunteers from North America and Europe to help with computer training and the development of the programs.
In its few short years of existence, through the generous support of people and organizations locally and abroad, the Foundation has been able to expand their programs to include both girls and boys. There is now the capacity to allow all Junior Secondary School students to receive computer and science laboratory training during regularly scheduled classes. Other activities organized by the Foundation include a fully operational community library, a internet cafe provider, a science laboratory facility, and currently under construction - a cultural centre, as well as a scholarship fund enabling students to attend secondary school.
