We Build Schools: Empowering Future Generations Through Education
At the heart of the Alfred Cecilia Tessy Foundation is a deep commitment to transforming lives and empowering communities, and we believe that education is one of the most powerful tools to achieve this. Through our “We Build Schools” initiative, we aim to bridge the educational gap in underserved communities, providing children with the opportunity to dream, learn, and build brighter futures.
Education is not just a fundamental right—it is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and unlocking potential. Inspired by the enduring legacy of Pa Alfred and Cecilia Jegede, who embodied compassion and selflessness, the foundation has taken up the cause of creating safe, functional, and inclusive learning environments for children in need.
What We Do
- Construct Modern Learning Facilities: We partner with communities to build schools equipped with classrooms, libraries, and basic amenities, ensuring students have a conducive environment to learn and grow.
- Provide Educational Resources: Beyond infrastructure, we supply essential materials such as textbooks, writing tools, and learning aids to support quality education.
- Support Teacher Development: Recognizing the critical role of teachers, we invest in training and capacity-building programs to enhance teaching quality.
- Promote Inclusive Education: We strive to ensure that every child, regardless of their background or abilities, has access to quality education and equal opportunities.
Why It Matters
When we build schools, we do more than construct buildings—we create pathways to hope and opportunity. A child in a classroom today becomes a leader, innovator, or change-maker tomorrow. By addressing the educational needs of vulnerable communities, we not only empower individuals but also foster sustainable development.
