At Faith Needy Children’s Home there are 115 children in the school. 70 live at the Orphanage and 45 live in the nearby villages. There is crèche (similar to our Head Start program), preschool, kindergarten, and grades one through six. Recently teachers were hired for grades seven through nine (known as junior high school grades one, two and three). The HeadMaster (principal) also teaches eighth grade.
Each teacher earns 105 GH per month (about $28 USD). For reference, a government starting teacher earns about 800 GH ($208 USD) per month.
Your education donation will be applied to the monthly teacher’s salary payment.
