The Happiness Project Ghana

Kankaboom is a small, remote village, around one hour from Cape Coast, located in the south of Ghana. There is no clean running water and electricity is limited. About 220 people live in Kankaboom and most of them earn the smallest salary by farming fruits and vegetables to sell. Many children are not attending school. Access to education is denied especially to young children because the way to school is simply too long and dangerous. Together with the Kankaboom community, Shadee and Hannah, the two founders of the Happiness project, planned the construction of a school which was finished in June 2017. The Kankaboom Children School, started with just 2 classrooms with space for up to 40 children. With the help of long-term donor support, the Happiness Project was able to expand the two classrooms and added two more in January 2020. This way, children from the surrounding neighborhoods can also join their school – something they are very keen to do! With our donation you can support the Happiness Project to pay lunch for the school children and salary for their teachers.
