Project 80: Plugged In - Ghana
In Ghana, Christian schools are giving children in underserved communities a quality education, but many don’t have a working computer lab. For Project 80, we're partnering with Edify to help these schools set up labs and train teachers, so students can build digital skills for their futures.Read more
Project 80: Plugged In - Ghana
In today’s world, digital skills open doors. Typing, coding, and basic computer knowledge can shape where a student goes after graduation, from further education to a better-paying job. But in low- and middle-income countries, many students never get that chance.
In Ghana, that includes students at small, low-fee Christian schools. Started by local leaders in their own underserved communities, these schools often outperform their public counterparts. Yet fewer than 20% of the Christian schools our partner works with have a working computer lab. So why don’t more have one?
It comes down to cost. Tuition stays low so local families can afford it, which leaves little room in a school’s budget for Chromebooks, tablets, and everything a computer lab needs. Without that equipment, students miss out on skills they’ll need for future learning and work.
That’s the gap our newest partner, Edify, is working to close.
Edify believes a quality education rooted in a biblical worldview is the best way to break the cycle of physical and spiritual poverty. For 17 years, they’ve walked alongside the owners of Christ-centered schools across Africa and Latin America, offering training for leaders and teachers, access to loans, and education technology. Today, they partner with 53,000 schools in 16 countries.
With a low-interest loan from Edify, these schools can buy quality Chromebooks or tablets from a trusted local provider and set up their own computer labs. Edify stays close once the devices arrive, training school leaders to manage the technology well over time and helping teachers bring it into their classrooms. As schools repay their loans, the money goes back into the fund to help another school build its own lab.
For Project 80: Plugged In, Mite’s Giving Community is partnering with Edify to support their education technology loan program in Ghana. Together, we’ll help three schools build new computer labs, where students can get hands-on practice in typing, coding, and computational and critical thinking.
By giving, you’re standing with the faithful leaders who built these schools and investing in the students they serve. You’re starting something that doesn’t end with one classroom. It carries into each student’s future and keeps giving long after the first group has graduated.
