Our Foundation’s work is designed to accomplish the following goals for the town of Mensakrom, Ghana: - Reduce illiteracy among children and youth by emphasizing and promoting quality education and learning - Make every child of school age attend school
- To get every child reading in the village.
- To bring the evolving beauty of the digital world to their doorstep through a village IT program.
- To network the children of Mensakrom to opportunities outside their own small world through
exchange program initiatives, but to also make it a model center of opportunities for its
surrounding villages.
- To build a clean healthy town
- To provide guidance for growing teenagers as they walk into the future
HOW THE FOUNDATION WORKS
The foundation’s programmes are built to establish focus, target goals and employ consistent medium to long term strategies in cost effective ways; and all these are done with the local people using their own creative energies, their talent, skills and resources in the spirit of self help; tapping into their own dream for their children to implement and actualize the projects and programs. We employ volunteers and network with big and small organizations that believe and share our beliefs and have a passion to help.
THE MODEL TOWN
Kunke foundation has adopted Mensakrom as its model town and has begun a series of specific programmes to cause a transformation. The programmes are focused on children and teenagers, as 15 years from now, Mensakrom will firmly be in the hands of today’s young teenagers, 15years from now its young children will be getting ready to make important transitions to adulthood. Between now and then, the future of Mensakrom and its inhabitants will be determined by the choices and opportunities created for today’s young ones.
Modeling the future of Mensakrom means focusing on the future of its children and youth of today and our concept of that model town is our dream for its children. The two together makes the vision of The Kunke Foundation and we believe that being creatively consistent, having a long term focus, initiating change, inspiring the people, enlightening their paths and making them believe in themselves through the work we do, can get us there.
