GLOVO HAS SIX MAIN PROJECTS
1. SCHOOL PROJECT
As part of
our aim to provide affordable, accessible and quality education to children in
the countryside and hinterlands in Ghana, GLOVO has established an educational
centre in one of the several rural communities within the Agona Swedru
Municipality. The school aims at becoming a center of excellence where orphans,
the vulnerable and the physically challenged can access quality education.
Partners,
donors and investors are urgently needed to help develop the vast land the
organization has bought and earmarked for the project. We hope to build a
village which will comprise a school complex, clinic, recreational centre, ICT
centre, home for orphans and abandoned children and a counseling unit.
Volunteers
will be in-charge in the provision of quality services to children and the
general public at large.
2. BACK-TO-SCHOOL PROJECT
In this
project, we solicit support from churches, corporate bodies and the general
public to procure and distribute stationery, school uniforms, footwear, school
bags, clothing etc. for orphaned, needy and less privileged children in
society.
This annual project
has four major objectives outlined as follows:
A. children
who are brilliant but needy are given support to help them unearth their hidden
potentials
B. children
of school- going ages that are not in school are enrolled to start schooling
for the first time
C. children
who have stopped schooling as a result of general lack of care and support are
sent back to school.
D. children
with physical disability and hearing impairment are motivated to be in school.
To achieve
these laudable objectives we invite charitable organizations and individuals to
come on board to partner our effort of making education a right, not a
privilege.
3. COMPUTER PROJECT
The
globalization of the world, making it a small village calls for intensive
teaching of ICT in schools. Unfortunately, in Ghana most public primary schools
do not have computers for learning though ICT has been made examinable.
In the Agona
Swedru Municipality, no public school could boast of a single computer in the
year 2009. Since then GLOVO has been partnering former volunteers, foreign
schools and individuals to procure and supply computers to basic public schools
within the Swedru Municipality and its environments.
So far,
seven Basic schools have benefited from the computer project and its impact has
been very tremendous.
We receive
request daily from schools and increase in demand calls for equal increase in
supply. This calls for funding and this is where your service to humanity is
tested. Come on board financially or materially to help expand this project and
your names will remain indelible in our books.
4. VOLUNTEERING SERVICE
GLOVO is
also into volunteerism. We are a recognized volunteer recipient organization in
Ghana. We receive volunteers from all over the world. Our partnering
organizations is Kultur-Life in Germany www.kultur-life.de however our doors are always open for
other partners elsewhere like you.
Our volunteers
serve in schools, hospitals, orphanage homes and Day Care centers. We receive
short and long term volunteers. We have good host families for our volunteers.
Project supervisors are very friendly and hardworking.
Get in touch
with friends, relatives, schoolmates and family members who wish to come Africa
for volunteering service to select Ghana and GLOVO in particular for our
services and conditions are superb.
5. CHILD SUPPORT PROJECT
This is
another crucial project designed by GLOVO to ensure the welfare of the
orphaned, abandoned and vulnerable children under our care. The programme aims
at giving monthly support in terms of food items, toiletries, clothing and
other stuff for the children’s proper upkeep in the foster homes.
With the
help of Morningstar Family Ministries, twenty-five out of the over hundred
children under our care are enjoying this package. Malnutrition amongst the
beneficiary children has reduced drastically.
You can also
raise funds in support of this project to help change the deprivation most
children under our care find themselves in. Most foster parents are complaining
because the support GLOVO is giving to them is inadequate. This challenging
task behooves you to really strive to get one child under on care support. Child
support project, save a child today, laugh aloud tomorrow.
6. HEALTH INSURANCE PROJECT
GLOVO is the
first NGO to register deprived children unto the National Heath Insurance
Scheme in Ghana. So far, with the help of our former volunteers we have registered
over three hundred deprived children and some tens of parents unto the health
scheme.
The aim is
to help rural and deprived children access quality health care in order to
avoid preventable deaths which normally occur among rural children in Ghana.
Management
is grateful to Agnes Ophelia Matz for mooting that idea and all other
volunteers and partners who helped sustain it.
More
children are crying to be registered unto the scheme and this is where
sacrifices are to be made to support the project. My one dollar, your two Euros,
his/her three pounds and our four yen come together to form a pool of fund
where we can draw money to support this kids. Better late than never!
