This year, 2024, To Be Worldwide celebrates 20 years 🎉🎉 of impacting the lives of children in Ghana 🇬đź‡.....what does that look like?
We have had the honour to have been able to reach and impact the lives of over 18000 children. We are so proud when news reaches us about how well our now young adults are doing.
Congratulations to Benjamina who has just graduated from Law school!!!
You can't start soon enough to foster curiosity for all things in children. We have chosen to pay more attention to STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Enginering and Maths). Exploring is the way to go, take it apart, put it back together make it work and have fun while you are at it and move on to a bigger challenge.
Stay Tuned to learn more about our partnership with PM STEAM Education Centre to help us shape our program.
We are proud to introduce Isaac to you. Isaac came to the Centre at the age of 10. Listen to his story on what his time at the Centre meant to him and how it has helped shape him and helped him to achieve his goals. Isaac and other Alumni come back regularly to the Centre to participate in workshops and to give back by helping the children that now visit the Centre like they used to many years ago!

Our Nose for Plastic Program is taking place at the moment. Kids have reached the part of the program where recycling is being discussed in depth. They are taught songs about recycling, reusing, and reducing plastic waste. They have been assigned project work (to use plastic waste to create a new product e.g. bags, pencil cases,etc.) which they will present in October after they return from the vacation break. The program is so successful that we will be partnering with an organisation in Tanzania to roll it out there!!!
It is simply incredible….within a week you built a website Webbeezwork. Proud of you! All this whilst learning about content creation, UX design, ChatGPT, selecting a platform to build on, a domain name, and following a workshop on being proactive. A big thank you goes to Emile van de Klok who set up and guided this program over the years. Thank you Improved Corporate Finance for your support, Hugo Lingeman and Kenneth Kirschner for your contribution.
Webbeezwork is now open for business!!!!
12 years ago, I walked into the Centre, totally computer illiterate, and armed with a desire to read any book I could get my hands on. The Centre gave me access to the thousands of books that kept me occupied my entire childhood. It was also at the Centre, that I discovered Carolyne Keene’s “The Nancy Drew Series” which filled my love for crime and law. Now, I am a student at the Ghana School of Law, where I have picked up another leadership role, and I am 8 months away from being called to the bar.
