TO BE WORLDWIDE is a Foundation that helps children in developing countries realise their full potential, so that later they can help build their communities.

We build educational facilities that complement the existing school structure. Each facility offers a library, a computer Centre and an activities program to stimulate the development of children's creative and technological skills.

Our facilities operate in partnership with the local institutions for basic education (primary- and junior secondary schools). During school hours, children visit the facility with their class where they follow a basic computer skills or reading development course. After school, children use the library or sign up for after-school activities such as computer training, creative reading or arts & crafts. The facilities aim to become self-supporting and are accessible after hours to the local community.

Our pilot in Takoradi Ghana shows encouraging results. We serve more than 2000 children from local schools and have awarded students diplomas in areas such as reading proficiency and computer skills.

 

After a year of operation we continue to enjoy the full support of our sponsors, the on-going commitment from local government and most important the enthusiastic response from the children and families we serve.

Given this promising start we are committed to opening additional facilities throughout Ghana at present. Our team is working together with a local government at the moment to realise our second facility.

To Be Worldwide is a foundation with minimal overhead, run directly by people intimately involved in Ghana and other developing countries. We strive to use virtually every contributed dollar and euro on helping children and their communities directly.

To Be Worldwide is supported by Unicef, the European Union (Ghana), Foundation Les Paquerettes, Net4kids Aid Foundation, Wilde Ganzen, InterimIC, Nots Foundation, American Book Centre and other organizations and individuals.
