Who we are and What we are doing?

We are fourth year nursing students working with ProjectGrow, a charitable organization, to organize a staff and faculty fundraiser at UBC-Okanagan to send young girls to school in Ghana. Vida Yakong, a UBC Okanagan PhD student initiated the project 3 years ago in her hometown villages of Nyobok-Nkenzesi, Ghana. Yakong created a community development project working with the village women by asking them what they needed to create a sustainable living. With the need for education identified by the community, Project Grow’s fundraising efforts will provide opportunities for children, particularly girls, to receive a formal education. The total cost of education from kindergarten through to grade twelve is two thousand dollars including uniforms, textbooks, and tuition. Project Grow has no administration costs, which means that 100% of the donations will benefit the young girls.
