Our story · 18 years of active educational work

18 years of active educational work.

Since 2008, School Is Fun Foundation has actively supported children and schools in Ghana. Our work is guided by a simple purpose: help children experience education as opportunity, participation, creativity, and hope.

Over the years, that purpose has been documented through school visits, photographs, videos, student performances, educational support, and relationships with educators and communities in Ghana.

Our past is the evidence. Our children are the purpose. The next generation is the mission.

Today, we are carrying that history forward through stronger governance, school and community partnerships, collaboration with Child Alert Foundation (CAF-Ghana), and a renewed commitment to sustainable educational impact.

Our mission

Accessible education.
Engaged students.

We work to make education more accessible and engaging for children in underserved communities. Our current efforts focus on primary and secondary students in Ghana’s Central Region.

Coordination from the United States and relationships in Ghana connect practical support with the priorities of local schools and communities. Our work is strengthened through collaboration with Child Alert Foundation (CAF-Ghana) and participating schools.

Our work
