The Pilots Scholars Program kicked off in Ghana in September, 2015, with an entering class of about 10 Junior Secondary School students. These students who are called PILOT SCHOLARS, are being offered financial, mentoring, and remedial help as well as health support with the sole aim of helping them to be successful in School.

Our aim is to ensure that each scholar gets into Senior Secondary School and ultimately into college. It is our core believe that by giving our PILOT SCHOLARS a little support, these very bright kids can be successful academically which will ultimately lead to a transformation of their family situations and their communities.

All our scholars show promise but would otherwise not make it without our support. Our first intake were selected from three junior secondary schools in the Western Region of Ghana primarily because of the low pass rate and high poverty in that region.

We are off to a good start but there are more people we can support with your help. Please help by donating to our cause. We are also excited about our soon to be launched Child Sponsorship Program. Please keep visiting for more updates.
