EDP's focus currently is on two small educational projects in disadvantaged communities in Ghana and Togo, West Africa. Education is the only route out of poverty and despair and it is the gift which no child in our world should be denied.
Also with the recent Football World Cup still looming large in our minds from the 2010 South African event, in which Ghana in particular performed so heroically , it is the opportunity to emphasise the connection with the sport through education, as it is a passion which crosses boundaries and can unite disparate communities.
EDP-Trust is a small family charity with a passion for education.
EDP-Trust is a small UK registered charity involved in educational projects in disadvantaged communities .
Having recently retired full-time from their successful, family owned accessories wholesaling business, the founders of the EDP Trust now wish to put something back into one of the regions which has helped to bring them success in the past. Together with a group of friends and business contacts they have identified a number of projects which need assistance.
One, the Awutu-Winton Senior High School in Ghana, is at start-up stage, the other is already established, but both are in need of ongoing funding to achieve their aims of bringing much needed educational opportunities to the children of their respective communities.
The charity plans to concentrate on the school development in Ghana and remain manageable with the focus on personal involvement.
