Dr. Margaret Safo Scholarship Fund

Raised in Ghana, West Africa, Dr. Margaret Safo’s journey is one that centered around education. Dr. Safo is one of 11 children and was among the few of her siblings who attended school. Born in the village of Banko in the Ashanti region, life was never easy but was often joyous in being surrounded by family and loved ones.

Dr. Safo’s educational journey allowed her to attend Ghana’s prestigious Wesley Girls secondary school on a scholarship, before she went on to university and medical school. Along the way, she had many mentors and sponsors who helped her achieve her dream of becoming a physician.

It is because of her belief in the transformative power of an education that Dr. Safo is committed to sponsoring youth to complete their scholastic dreams in Ghana, something she has done for years on an individual basis. The Dr. Margaret Safo Scholarship Fund will allow an expansion of these efforts to support more youth each year.

This Scholarship Fund will provide funding through secondary school of one male and female student in Ghana each year. Recipients will be chosen by their community elders and scholarships will be awarded by the level of need.

We hope you will consider contributing.
