We make higher education and employment opportunities accessible to young people, particularly those in rural Ghana.
Young people living in slums and rural communities in Ghana are not able to access global education opportunities due to unfair systematic barriers, lack of information, positive role models and mentorship. At LLF, we work with kind volunteers and partners to make higher opportunity fields in TVET and STEM accessible to young people in our target communities. We are on a mission to make sure no one is left behind because of where they were born or whom they were born to.
I experienced severe inferiority complex at the University. I was the only one from my SHS at my uni biochemistry class. The other classmates went to big schools and had a lot of friends already. I felt very unhappy and little. I couldn't even engage with them because I was scared to be laughed at. I wish I had more confidence to overcome that barrier. But i didnt, and ended up with a very poor GPA

I didn't know that women can do science and be rich. All I knew was to marry, give birth and get support from my husband to start a small business. I was good at creating things, If I had people to guide me, maybe I would have been an engineer with a better life than now

I want to work in big science labs. In movies, I always see women like me working in places like that. I want to be one. But my family couldn't afford the university application forms. And they say, they cannot even pay for my university fees. I now sell fish with a woman in the market for a living

I want to learn construction and build houses. I don't think I can do that in my village so i am now hustling to get money and move to the city. To get a good master to teach you, you have to pay. I will also need accomodation - these all involve big money that I cannot afford now

Young people have more opportunity today than 10 - 20years ago but I doubt many of them are aware of the opportunities that exist. Many of them are following the wrong people and the wrong things on social media. We need to deliberately guide them to the good stuff. I cannot stress the importance of mentorship and personalized guidance enough
