Building for Tomorrow

Ways to Give
Your gift helps the Old Achimotan Association 2002 (OAA 2002) build a 150-bed boys' dormitory and launch a mentorship and mental health program at Achimota School, Ghana. We are a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit — all donations are tax-deductible.

Equal Opportunity Begins with a Place to Stay
Every year, brilliant young boys gain admission to Achimota School, one of Ghana’s foremost secondary schools, due to the government free SHS policy, but many of them, just 14–16 years old, are forced to travel long distances daily because there aren’t enough dormitories for male students.
The 2002 Year Group of Achimota School in celebration of its 25th anniversary is raising $2 million to build a new boys’ house (a safe, supportive home for over 150 students each year).
Your contribution will help turn long, exhausting commutes into more time for learning, mentorship, and friendship. Together, we can give these young leaders the full secondary school experience—and build a lasting legacy for Ghana’s future.
Donate and spread the word using #Achimota2002LegacyProject. Let's build more than a dormitory; let's build futures.
