Dear Friends,
In the past nine years, M.O.P. has transformed a group of
disadvantaged youth into a family of intelligent students. Students who were
once living lives of hopeless despair are now filled with dreams of bright
futures thanks to education.
Education is the primary focus of Mawuvio’s Outreach
Programme. We believe that education is the key to ending the cycle of poverty;
poverty that is rampant throughout Ghana. The majority of our students are the
first in their families to attend school and learn how to read, write and make
sense of numbers. This year we provided seventy-nine youth, 38 males and 41
females with a basic Kindergarten thru Junior High School. Achieving basic
literacy skills has given youth more self-confidence, self-determination and
desire to continue their education journey.
All youth also participated in at least one after- school
programme during the year. After -school programming was designed to expose
youth to additional learning in the forms of arts, music, culture and sports.
Participation in these programmes provided students with a strengthened sense
of community with one another, opportunity to acquire skills which can be
useful to them in their futures and further exposure to the world at large.
The past year marked our fourth year operating two
facilities, our outdoor nursery and kindergarten school in Kissemah and our
primary school located at Ayikuma serving day and boarding students. As we look
forward into the future, we thank all the individuals both in Ghana and abroad
that have helped management, staff and students continue to uphold the mission
and vision of our organization. We foresee Mawuvio’s Outreach Programme to have
many successful years to come.
Yours Faithfully,
Eric Kwame Agoe Renee

values of craft, hardwork and contributing to the organization they belong
