Sabre Education (Ghana) Member

Sabre Education is a partnership between two linked education charities, registered in the UK with the Charity Commission and in Ghana with the Department of Social Welfare. We currently work directly in southern Ghana to improve the futures of poor and marginalised children. As part of our strategic goals we aim to scale up our work nationwide in Ghana and beyond. One pathway to scale will be through partnerships with other implementing organisations. We partnered with Opportunity Edufinance in 2017, and were able to reach the rest of Ghana, Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania.

Through 12 years of grassroots work in rural schools and a long term relationship with the Ghana Education Service, the kindergarten sector has emerged as our priority intervention area. Kindergarten represents the start of formal education for 4 and 5 year old children, and the sector faces a number of challenges including poor learning environments and weak teacher capacity. Our Brighter Futures Programme provides an innovative and carefully considered response to these challenges, delivered through Building Playful Schools and providing Transformational Teacher Training.
