Four Principles of Yo Ghana!

Yo Ghana! is always thinking about how to define its mission more precisely.  Here is the
most recent version:

Exchanges for Transformation

We believe that becoming friends with and learning from students across the globe transforms lives by breaking open new possibilities and opportunities.

Partnership

Schools in the U.S. are not above schools in Ghana.  Each set of schools has its own strengths and challenges.  We work together, as equal partners, to learn from and help each other.

Local Initiative

Yo Ghana! does not simply give money away, and we don’t want any buildings named after us.  But if your school has started a project—from a library or computer lab to visiting your partner school—we would be honored to help.

                         

Service

We believe that everyone is in a position to help someone.  Yo Ghana! students encourage and educate each other.  Yo Ghana! projects offer people on both sides of the world an opportunity to improve the lives of others.
