Frequently Asked Questions

Girls globally face barriers like cultural norms, economic disparities, and gender inequality that hinder their educational opportunities. In Bokoro, we've seen cases like Agatha who was forced to stop school due to recurring circumstances. By prioritizing girls, we address these inequalities and empower them to break cycles of poverty. Investing in girls' education creates a ripple effect of positive change for families, communities, and future generations. Educated girls become agents of change who can transform their communities.

The library's future plans include building a Children's Library in the village of Bokoro. This expansion will create a safe space for nurturing the mid-stages of childhood development and further maximize educational opportunities. We envision a comprehensive learning environment that supports children from early childhood through adolescence, providing age-appropriate resources and programs.

Bokoro is situated in the Ahanta West District in the Western Region of Ghana. It has a small population, primarily composed of elderly and children. The village relies on farming, particularly palm fruit farming, as the primary means of livelihood. The village faces economic challenges, with household income below the Ghanaian national average. This economic situation makes access to educational resources even more critical for the community's development.

The library boasts a rich and varied collection of books, encompassing children's literature, educational materials, fiction, non-fiction, and more. While we offer a wide range of reading materials, our primary focus is on nurturing the reading interests of younger children, providing them with books tailored to their developmental levels, meaning we need books below the complexity of novels. We prioritize age-appropriate materials that engage young readers and support their educational journey.
