Founded by Michael Barry after a Helping Hands Medical Mission trip to Ghana, Pope Francis Children’s Home & School provides for the most vulnerable children in the Volta Region of Ghana.

Clap for Jesus, Inc, an Atlanta-based non-profit, built St. Joseph’s Catholic High School, a co-educational residential high school in the Wiawso Diocese in the Western Region of Ghana currently serving 700 students.

School Aid for Africa was Matthew Harrison’s 2012 Eagle Scout project where new backpacks loaded with new school supplies were collected for 600 students and delivered to schools in rural Ghana. This project was scheduled to coincide with a Helping Hands Medical Mission.

The project will begin early in 2017 by collecting new and gently used shoes for children and adults in Father’s Anthony parish and home village of Egyam and Butre. The shoes will be shipped to Ghana by the Ghana Friendship Project in 2018 and possibly 2019.
