Welcome to Edulife Trust Fund!
Edulife was founded with the aim to provide deprived children access to primary and secondary education in Ghana. The emphasis was placed on basic education, as the fundamentals in education were vital. Access to basic education also increased the chances of future success.
Edulife Trust Fund wants to see these underprivileged children back at school, where they belong. By giving these children easy access to basic education today, we can increase their chances of a better tomorrow. At Edulife, we believe getting even one child back to school will mean a pound well spent.

Where we work. Our current and future projects.
We are currently working with a couple of underprivileged children in Greater Accra, Ghana, who are finding it difficult to pay their fees. We believe education should not be a privilege, but a right and education can help deprived children break the cycle of poverty.
The most recent beneficiary was a young man who needed some transferable skills. Edulife got him trained and certified and we believe the certification should enhance his career chances and job prospects.
We are looking to support some deprived children in Nigeria within the next 4 to 5 years.
