Community Services Foundation

Mission

To provide services supporting community development programs, through ICT in areas pertaining to culture, civics, heritage, education, training, productivity, health, sanitation and environmental protection.

Programs

The establishment of a CLTC in the village of Kwahu Daa has made a significant impact on the attitude of the children and the community as a whole towards education. Unfortunately, there is no senior secondary within 10 mile radius of the community. Leaders are aggressively raising funds to build a school complex which will house the primary, junior secondary and senior secondary school. CSF is supporting this community project which is estimated to cost about $500,000.
