Upper West Science Foundation Partnership
In 2007, Faith Lutheran started a new partnership ministry with the Upper West Science Foundation in the Upper West region of Ghana, Africa. So far, Faith Lutheran Church with the help of Mr. George Guri, Coordinator of the UWSF, has been able to provide basic education and school materials for 35 children. In fact, Faith’s partnership with the Foundation recently made the local news in Ghana! In an interview, our partner Mr. Guri mentioned our Church as assisting vulnerable children at the basic level of education in the district. He appealed to parents to support the education of their children so that they would grow up to become responsible adults who could contribute to the development of the country. Many parents in the district are needy and cannot buy basic school items, resulting in the high drop out rate of children at the basic level of education. Some of the children aspire to become doctors, lawyers, soldiers and teachers and have thanked the church for helping them along the way.
Faith Lutheran is committed to fighting illiteracy and providing education to as many children as possible in Ghana. A donation in any amount would be greatly appreciated, however, an individual child can be sponsored for $135 for an entire school year. This amount includes uniforms, shoes, books and all of the necessary school supplies. If you are interested in joining Faith in this cause, you can send a check made payable to Faith Lutheran Church P.O. Box 603, Attn: Ghana, Brookfield, IL 60513 or send an email to mission@faithinbrookfield.com and a self-addressed envelope will be sent to you.
