Imagine wanting your child to continue school, but there simply isn't one available to attend. For families in Gomoa Fetteh Mamfam, Ghana, this is a reality. 

• 623,500 primary-school-aged children in Ghana are still not enrolled in school.
• 98 million children are out of school across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Project Al Ahlul Quran Educational Center, Ghana

Al Ahlul Quran Educational Center is located in Gomoa Fetteh Mamfam, a community of more than 6,000 residents in Ghana's Central Region.

ARCD launched the project in 2024 as a comprehensive community development initiative, built around the understanding that education, clean water, health access, and religious life are connected needs. 

What Has Already Been Built?

1: 10 - Classroom Elementary School

Completed & operational, currently serving 291 students from KG1–Basic 6

2: Al Ahlul Quran Islamic School

Providing Qur’an education within the community

3: Vocational Training Block

2 classrooms + administration wing / Completed April 2024

What's Still Missing?

The community needs accessible Junior High School education, and Senior High School education, alongside access to Qur’an education and sustainable educational infrastructure.

ARCD’s next education priorities are:

1: Perimeter Fencing — $32,000

The community center is located close to the road, exposing students and the educational facility to safety risks. Perimeter fencing will help provide a secure environment for students and protect the school facility.

2: Proposed Senior High School — $90,000

The proposed SHS will be developed in consultation with the Gomoa East District Education Directorate and according to Ghana Education Service (GES) standards.

It will provide students with access to high school education within their own community, reducing the need to travel to distant communities to continue their studies.

Why Does This School Matter?

Because education should not have to end at elementary school.

The 291 children currently attending the school deserve the opportunity to continue learning as they grow. The proposed Senior High School will help create the next step in their educational journey. 

Allah's first revealed command was:

“Iqra” — Read.

The command to read reminds us of the importance of seeking knowledge.

And knowledge is the only thing that changes more than what a child knows. It changes what they can do with their life.

Why ARCD?

Since 2019, Africa Relief has reached 1.1 million+ people across Africa, sponsored 3,000+ orphans, and established 240+ educational centres.

But our work doesn't stop at delivering a project and walking away.

ARCD works alongside communities to build lasting solutions.

And in Gomoa Fetteh Mamfam, the work has already begun.

291 students are already learning.

Now, we're taking the next step: helping make education safer, extending access to secondary education, and strengthening a learning environment rooted in both academic and Islamic education.

When you give, you're not funding an idea.

You're helping build on work that is already underway.
