Africa Aid Supplementary Curriculum Project (SCP) Expansion
Updated: June 23, 2008
|
|
Africa Aid's Supplementary Curriculum Project (SCP) program currently provides 215 children in the Buduburam Liberian Refugee Camp with nutritious meals and health education. In conjunction with our implementation partner organization, SHIFSD, the program provides underprivileged students with basic dietary provisions and knowledge of healthy lifestyle practices to increase their intellectual development in school and promote healthy lifestyle choices throughout Buduburam's larger communities.
Plans to expand the health education curriculum to a broader target audience of African students are currently underway. SCP will deliver educational modules through lunchtime lessons that engage students and educate them to share with their communities the best possible preventative measures they can take to avoid illness and disease, as well as encouraging optimal health.

Africa Aid School Lunch Program (SLP) Enrollment Update
|
|
Africa Aid, in partnership with our African implementation partner SHIFSD, has
created the School Lunch and Educational Enhancement Program (SLP) that provides
a nutritious daily lunch to 213 refugee children in the
Buduburam Liberian Refugee Settlement in Ghana.
The SLP provides these underprivileged students with the necessary incentive to
participate in school and increase their ability to learn by improving their nutritional
well-being. Construction of our SLP kitchen is complete and SHIFSD has hired several
mothers of our recipient children as cooks in the name of improving the
economic status
of women in the Buduburam community. The School Lunch Program serves as a jumping point
for our micro-finance program to allow women to produce food for the SLP to foster our
model of sustainability and break the necessity for future donor assistance as well as
improve the economic
and social condition of women within the
Buduburam community.

Now, we want you to support our School Lunch Program. The best way is to purchase an
Africa Aid T-shirt. Now through June 30, 100% of the proceeds from our
t-shirt sales will go directly to the
Buduburam community to ensure the educational empowerment of these
213 willing and motivated children.
Help Support Empowerment by Wearing Empowerment.

Self-Help Initiative for Sustainable Development (SHIFSD) is a Liberian
refugee-run organization based in the
Buduburam Refugee Settlement in Ghana.
In May of 2005, SHIFSD conducted a large-scale baseline education survey to
gather accurate information about the general state of education in
Buduburam. In reaction to this survey,
SHIFSD created an Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) to provide a free education
to 150 underprivileged children that were unable to afford school tuition fees.
Africa Aid is proud to provide a school lunch program for the SHIFSD ALP Program
and name SHIFSD as an implementation partner of Africa Aid.
