Mission Statement

At Pagus: Africa, our mission is to empower youth in Ghana to be change-makers in their communities.

We provide and coordinate comprehensive services to assist in the education and development of young people, teach them vital, practical skills, and equip them to shape the world to be a better place.

Description

Since 2005 we have strengthened disadvantaged, rural communities in Ghana, W. Africa, through targeted projects in education, health and poverty reduction. Our commitment to youth and their communities creates strong partnerships for grassroots, sustainable change. We facilitate access to education, technology and leadership training, as well as experiences that promote use of creative and critical thinking skills and engender a desire for life-long learning.
