Thaakat Foundation

In the heart of Tanoboase, Ghana, many families face the harsh reality of financial struggle, leaving their children without access to the education they deserve. Clement "Righteous" Boamah saw this need and dreamed of a brighter future for these children. With the support of Thaakat Foundation, he founded the Konadu School, a beacon of hope that provides free education to children who would otherwise be left behind.

Completed in 2023, the Konadu School is now run by the local community, but they need your help to keep the dream alive. The community’s monthly operational costs total $3,833, covering essentials like salaries, feeding fees, transportation, and more. While parents contribute what they can, the school still faces a monthly deficit of $1,264.89. Additionally, there is an urgent need for essential items such as furniture, whiteboard markers, ceiling fans, bookshelves, indoor games, and playground equipment.

How Your Contribution Makes a Difference:

$25 can fund uniforms for students.

$50 can help us purchase bookshelves for our classrooms.

$100 can fund transportation for our students, ensuring they can get to school safely.

$1,000 can help us fully equip our playground, giving children a safe space to play and grow.

Join Us in Building a Brighter Future: Your donation, no matter the size, will directly impact the lives of these children. Together, we can provide them with the education, resources, and opportunities they need to build a better future for themselves and their community.

Donate Today: Be a part of something bigger. Help us build a future where every child in Tanoboase has the chance to learn, grow, and succeed. Your generosity will leave a lasting legacy in the lives of these children and their families.

You have a chance to transform the lives of thousands of children, will you take it?

With a $40,000 monthly overhead budget required to run six schools, Thaakat Foundation has been in deficit for the last month.

Why do we need you? Thousands of families live in the strewn and burning mountains of waste, in Karachi, Pakistan's largest landfill. Here, 100 tons of waste is dumped daily. In the searing heat of these landfills, we see kids scavenging as soon as they learn to walk. Covered in blisters and boils from the fire of the burning garbage, this is all they know. Walking through piles of trash and waste, often alone, they seek their day's treasures. Working for enough in earnings so that they can eat. You can help change this.

Thaakat Foundation has worked with partner Idara Al Khair since 2012 to provide access to free education and healthcare for these communities. Within a 10 mile radius of this landfill, they've built six schools, the BEST SCHOOLS. Two of them are located right within the landfill to ensure distance is not a hindrance. Ripe with playgrounds, computer labs, libraries, sports fields and playgrounds. In the fog and darkness of the landfill--there is light!
