Ghana

Libraries Without Borders has been working in collaboration with Oxfam Ghana since 2018 with the financial aid of Oxfam IBIS. We work together on a project to improve education for children, particularly for girls, in the districts of Kpandai and Sawla located in the north of the country.

Two girls-only Ideas Box kits were set up in September 2019 in two different “schools of excellence” with the support of Oxfam. Four Ideas Cube kits have also been set up in coeducational schools. An initial then supplementary training was run by two experts from LWB for Oxfam workers involving teachers from all of the schools. The purpose of the training was to ensure that everyone can use the tools and resources – both physically and technically – and empower everyone to integrate the available content into their everyday activities.
