Scholarships
Out of the 2,000 children who attend the various schools in the town, only about 125 of them graduate each year from Junior High School. Unfortunately, most of them do not qualify to attend Senior High School. Out of the limited number that are offered admissions to various SHS across the country, only a handful of parents/guardians are financially able to pay their children's fees covering tuition, boarding, books, uniforms, and related fees. In effect, the majority of JHS graduates end their education at that level with no hope for a bright future. ABC has established a scholarship fund to provide financial aid to needy, smart, and ambitious children in the town to enable them to obtain SHS education.

General Fund
ABC uses all financial donations to support its programs that benefit directly the people of Kwabeng, particularly the children. Designated funds are used exclusively for the intended purpose like scholarships to JHS students to attend SHS, while undesignated funds are used for capital improvement projects for the schools. The common problems facing all the public schools in the town are dilapidated school buildings, lack of modern restrooms, unsafe and poorly equipped playgrounds.
Library Fund/Library Books
Kwabeng currently has an estimated population of 9,000 people out of which about 3,500 are students enrolled
in the various public schools (Pre-K-12). Except for the High School that has a small library with a limited
quantity of books, none of the other schools have a library. The town itself has no public library,
and the closest library is more than 25-miles away. Unfortunately, most of the parents are too poor to
afford reading books for their children and, therefore, the only books most of the kids have are
their school textbooks.
ABC plans to open a public library in the town this fall. Over the last few years, ABC has shipped to
Kwabeng large quantities of books donated by our local community for the proposed library.
At the request of the ABC committee, the elders of the town made available late last year a building for
the proposed library. However, the building needs lots of renovations before it can be used.
ABC is currently raising funds for the repairs, electrification, and procurement of book shelves,
tables and chairs for the library, and we need your help.
