Baworo ICCES is a long-established and successful school with a growing population. Many students will travel long distances to get to school which is neither easy nor always safe. To address this, the school encourages pupils to lodge on site in the school’s hostel.
However, there were more students who wanted to lodge than beds available – which discouraged students from attending. Students without beds would sleep on flimsy mattresses on the floor – far from ideal.
Onechild Ghana provided the funds to build bunk beds for students to use in the hostel.
The beds provided immediate relief to current students – meaning they’ll now be able to get a good night’s sleep during term-time, allowing them to concentrate more during their school day
