THE CAUSE

We are raising money in aid of Blessed Mount Mary’s school in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. Ashanti Empress has been working with this school for the past 10 years, helping to secure funding through events and selling clothes. This money has provided sponsorship to 18 children from the local area, we have bought a school bus and also built new classrooms.

We are holding this event to fundraise for two key projects.

1. Sponsorship programme - it costs £30 a year for a child to attend the school but many families struggle to pay this fee meaning their Childs education can suffer. We fundraise to pay the fees of these children.

2. New toilet facilities - The current drop pit toilets are highly unsanitary, with no running water or washing facilities. To build new sanitary toilet facilities it is going to cost £1000.

All profits from this event are going directly to Blessed Mount Mary’s school and will directly benefit the children there through these key projects.

If you are unable to attend the event but would still like to show your support for the cause through a donation or sponsoring one of the children for a years eduction (£30) then please follow the link below and donate!
