Expediting Access to Secondary Education (EASE)

EASE is an acronym for Expediting Access to Standard Education. The aim of the program is to improve access to basic education in Africa through sponsorship programs and the establishment of libraries in villages. We believe that education holds the solution to most of the world's problems. Yet, many children are denied the opportunity due to financial constraints. We are convinced that a little effort on our part will go a long way to help.

Although the program has hopes of expanding to other African countries, the initial scope is limited to Ghana. The current focus is to sponsor underprivileged children through Junior Secondary School (JSS), which forms the core of basic education in Ghana.

The general goals of EASE are to:

(1) Provide funding for students to attend Junior Secondary School (JSS) who would otherwise not be able to do so
(2) Help selected villages establish community libraries/stock existing ones
(3) African awareness at MIT and in Cambridge schools
(4) Expand our program to sponsor students in the secondary level institutions-Senior Secondary School(SSS) to enable bright students being sponsored by the J.S.S. program to further their education.
(5) Extend EASE Operations to other colleges besides MIT
(6) Extend EASE Sponsorship and Operations to other African countries besides Ghana
