Fuse ODG & Jamaican Friend Wants To Build School In Ghana & Refurbish One In Jamaica

Fuse ODG has announced his intention to build a school in Ghana and refurbish one in Jamaica–a project he wants to embark on with his Jamaican friend. Fuse ODG, who is an Afro Pop artiste and philanthropist, disclosed in his announcement that, the two schools will have a similar curricular and also, there will be frequent exchange programs, to create a strong relationship between the two schools.

Fuse ODG wants to raise £500,000  with his friend and the amount will be split into two for each individual project.

Back in 2007, we teamed up with a charity called Wood World Mission and fundraised to build a primary school, in a small town named Akosombo in Ghana. Over the years, the school has made an incredible impact on not just the students that attend but the broader community.
The first cohort of students should be starting secondary school in September.
But the nearest secondary school is miles away & most families are not able to afford the school fees. We wanted to do something about this. We are linking up the internet to build an affordable, sustainable & local secondary school in the area. —-Portions of his announcement read.

At press time,  £766 had being raised within 2 days for the £500,000 goal. To be donate to this nice initiative, click here

We've decided to embark on a new mission, to build a school in Ghana & refurbish a school in Jamaica. Then we want to link the schools up, so the children are connected with each other through technology as well as curriculum. Whilst we are doing the building work, we will also be starting a volunteering programme for the school in Jamaica and Ghana, so that people can go and help out while they are on holiday. Why are we linking up? Together we are stronger, we believe that the people are generous and want to give, they just don't trust big charities, because they take ages to get jobs done and you never see where the money went! We want to raise £500,000 & split the money equally between the school that Chronixx wants to refurbish and the School that I want to build. Let me give you some context for the schools project. Back in 2007, we teamed up with a charity called Wood World Mission and fundraised to build a primary school, in a small town named Akosombo in Ghana. Over the years, the school has made an incredible impact on not just the students that attend but the broader community. The first cohort of students should be starting secondary school in September. But the nearest secondary school is miles away & most families are not able to afford the school fees. We wanted to do something about this. We are linking up the internet to build an affordable, sustainable & local secondary school in the area. Our aim is to raise £250,000 per school, for the work that needs to be done. Over the next 5 years, we will educate hundreds of children & employ many people from the local communities. In addition to a traditional education, the students will be equipped with a number of vocational skills such a carpentry, hairdressing and sewing to name a few so that they will be equipped as soon as they leave with the skills to go out and earn a living. As the African proverb says, it takes a village to raise a child. We need your help. Let's come together as a global village, using our capital, our resources, and our influence to give all these students a brighter future. #wewillrizetogether make your own vid, put the link in your bio #blackstarparty
