Our Story

CHILD DREAM FOUNDATION (CDF) is a not-for-profit organization established in 2018 as a youth-led, youth empowerment edtech hub working to improve quality education in Ghana and by extension Africa at large.

We partner to provide a well- ordered and secure atmosphere for basic, secondary and tertiary schools in Ghana. Strengthening the philosophical and social foundations of schools through Literacy development, Innovations in Educational systems, Continuous teacher training and support and Promoting the SDG’s through Student Empowerment Summits, Incubations and Accelerations programs for a holistic child/youth development.

Our service-learning projects taught us that education has extraordinary power to collectively alter the course of life, and that extreme poverty, inadequate educational materials and instructor’s coupled with lack of infrastructure make it challenging for young people to do extremely well.

Why We Are So Passionate About CDF

Because more than 793 million adults in the world (1 out of 4) cannot read. Of those, 64% are women and 122 million are girls.
In Ghana, nearly 623,500 children of primary school age are still not enrolled in primary school and one out of four children in the kindergarten age range (from four to five years of age) are not in preschool. According to the 2010 national census, 20 percent of children with physical disabilities are not attending school.
Because UNESCO’s Institute of Statistics determined that Sub Saharan African (SSA) has the highest rate of education exclusion in the world.
Because 171 million people could be lifted out of poverty if all students in low-income countries left school with basic reading skills and technology skills.
Because poorly literate individuals are less likely to participate in democratic processes.
Because a child born to a woman who can read is 50% more likely to survive past the age 5.
Because 17.1 million additional teachers will be needed in SSA; 6.3 million in primary and 10.8 million in secondary (UNESCO, 2020).
