Academic Milestones In Ghana

Global Servants

We have reached an academic milestone; the ten charter residents of House of Grace-Ghana have either completed or are currently attending Senior High School. According to an article by UNICEF about Ghana, the poorest girls from rural areas attain about four years of schooling compared to 13 years for girls from affluent homes in urban areas. God rescued ten girls from the poorest areas of northern Ghana. With your financial support, our girls are now competing academically with children from the most affluent families in the country. The girls at House of Grace attend Trinity Foundation School for Nursery, Kindergarten, Primary, and Junior High. They have the opportunity for thirteen years of education before qualifying for senior high boarding school. In Ghana, you must take a test after the ninth grade to be eligible for senior high and determine the school you will attend.

Competing in Ghana’s A-Level Schools

Under the current system, the students with the highest scores attend A-level schools. The school grading system is from A to D. In the Education Act of 1987, the established schools throughout Ghana were turned into national schools and follow the same curriculum. However, only eight percent of the schools are ranked A.



These schools have the best facilities, resources, and teachers. Ranking criteria include the number of students allowed in a classroom, sanitation facilities, trained teachers, and access to resources such as labs, computers, and textbooks. All original girls from House of Grace-Ghana attend A or B-level schools. We are proud of their accomplishment and are working to support the staff and schools they currently attend.

Investing in Schools That Empower Thousands

Global Servants is blessed with supporters that pay attention to the complicated interaction between social, economic, and political factors involved in empowering an individual. The idea to improve state-run facilities helps all marginalized people while supporting our girls.



Three girls from House of Grace attend St. Monica’s Senior High School. Global Servants built a mechanized well, water tower, and campus-wide irrigation system. Before the well, the water at the school was rationed, and bathrooms were periodically locked because they were non-functioning.


St. Monica’s High School has an enrollment of 2,500 girls, and all know that a Christian organization supplied the well and irrigation system. At FOSO College of Education in Assin Foso, Ghana, we built a public restroom with four private lockable stalls, each including a toilet and sink. Because of an existing mechanized well, we could build restrooms accessible for both genders. We hope the girls that plan to become teachers will attend FOSO after their high school graduation.

Investing in Schools That Empower Thousands

In 2017 the Ghanaian government passed the Free Senior High School policy. We are proud to work alongside the governments of Ghana and Thailand. Our homes serve as role models for children’s homes within their perspective governments.

The idea of a free school in Ghana is noble, and the intent is admirable. In 2021, the Minister of Finance, Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta, told Parliament that student enrollment at the SHS level had increased from 881,600 in 2016 to 1,261,125 in 2021. Even with free school, some expenses make high school unattainable for some.


After your acceptance into the school, you must have a physical from your primary doctor and an eye exam to attend. Almost all senior high schools in Ghana are based on the British model and are boarding schools. Therefore, you must bring everything you will need for your dorm room.


All schools require uniforms; the material is printed with the school logos and must be custom-made for the individual. You declare a course of study when you enter the tenth grade. You will use the same textbooks for three years and must purchase the entire set within 30 days of school enrollment.



Depending on your study path, you will require practical items to use in a lab setting. For example, The Home Economics Department list has 47 items with a purchase price of approximately 350.00 USD. The school provides all meals but encourages students to bring supplemental nutrition. With all of the initial fees and start-up costs, a free school is actually accessible only to those that can afford it.

Sponsors Make Education Possible

All of our senior high girls have sponsors that cover the cost of their time at House of Grace-Ghana and their school fees for Trinity Foundation School. Because of the generous donations from our Empowering Esther Team, everything our girls needed for senior high school was readily available.


Each girl has a roll-up mattress in addition to her dormitory bunk. They had the sheets, towels, blankets, hygiene items, and everything it took to set up a room away from home. The donations through the Empowering Esther Team are designated for girls at either House of Grace.



We are grateful for individuals that donate without one particular girl in mind. The girls are the most grateful. Most have friends from their home villages who cannot attend school because of financial hardship. Each girl knows the financial commitment their sponsor family and the Empowering Esther Team members made to make way for them.

Acting as Daughters of the King

The girls at House of Grace can afford to attend high school; because of the faithfulness of our supporters to give without knowing the need. Our girls can genuinely act as daughters of the King. They can draw from their Heavenly Father’s finances and cover the cost when a need arises.



The staff in Ghana and Thailand can make financial decisions with funds already available. We are grateful for your trust and obedience to God’s call, which allows the nationals of the country we serve to identify the need and financially meet it.

Last year, Global Servants friends and partners came together in an incredible outpouring of generosity— raising more than $90,000 in a single day . Every dollar helped advance the mission of Global Servants to empower, educate, and share God’s love around the world. This year, we’re believing for another powerful day of giving and impact. On Giving Tuesday, December 2, one project goal is to raise $20,000 to purchase a new van for a local church in Ghana. Why a Van Matters Transportation in rural Ghana is often a daily challenge. Many pastors and church members travel long distances to worship, sometimes walking miles or relying on unreliable public transport. A new church van will make ministry more accessible and effective—providing safe, dependable transportation for: Sunday services and midweek gatherings Children’s ministry and youth programs Outreach events and community projects Mission trips to surrounding villages Your gift will help move ministry forward—literally—by providing a vehicle that serves both the church and the wider community for years to come. When We Go Beyond the Goal We believe God will do more than we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). When we surpass our $20,000 goal, every additional dollar raised will go toward our Clean Water Projects in Ghana—bringing safe, life-giving water to families and villages in need. $10,000 provides a brand-new well for an entire village $50 provides a Water Filter Kit for a family, giving them access to clean, safe drinking water Every well dug and every filter distributed is a gift of health, dignity, and hope—meeting practical needs while opening doors for the Gospel. Get Ready For Giving Tuesday On Tuesday, December 2, join us for our Facebook page throughout the day! We’ll celebrate every milestone together, share updates from Thailand and Ghana, and hear from our team about the impact your gifts are making.

Expanding Care and Community Outreach Building on that success, the program expanded to include eye and Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT) screenings, ensuring that members and local residents had access to quality preventive care. Once again, individuals needing further medical attention or surgical procedures were guided and supported throughout their treatment process. Health Month 2025: Education, Prevention, and Access This year’s 2025 Health Month continued that tradition with a strong emphasis on education and accessibility. The month began with a series of health talks covering topics such as dietary wellness for the working class, eye health, and the causes and prevention of heart attacks. These sessions provided practical knowledge to empower participants to make healthier daily choices.

At Global Servants, we believe clean water should never be a privilege—it is a basic need and a God-given right. Through our Clean Water Initiative, we are providing families with simple yet powerful filtration systems that transform unsafe water into safe, drinkable water. How the Filtration System Works Each system uses gravity to push water through an advanced filter specifically designed to remove 99.9999% of bacteria, protozoa, and cysts, as well as 100% of microplastics. With just a standard container and a drilled opening, this system can provide safe drinking water for a family in minutes. The kit includes: A high-capacity filter Drill bit for setup Filter hanger and hose Adapters and connection pieces A backwashing device for cleaning Instruction sticker for easy care Whether families draw water from a muddy river or catch rainwater in a cistern, the system ensures harmful pathogens are removed. Even heavily contaminated water becomes safe to drink, though cleaning the filter more often is recommended when muddy water is used. Built to Last One of the most remarkable features of this system is its durability. Each filter can process up to 100,000 gallons of water, providing families in need with many months of safe drinking water. In fact, filters like these are already in use in over 100 countries. Some have been operating effectively for more than a decade.  Every filter is tested three times during the production process, sealed for safety, and individually inspected to ensure consistent quality. Extensive testing means that when we deliver a system to a family, we can trust that it will provide reliable, life-changing clean water.
