The purpose of the new Mentee Project is to support brilliant but needy pupils from the basic level through to tertiary level.

This is a sub-project under the general scholarship programmes being implemented by the Foundation.

Other programmes under this include the Undergraduate and the Postgraduate Scholarship Schemes.

The project spans beyond providing the academic needs of these children but also delves into offering emotional, psychological, career guidance or counseling and even other forms of domestic support.

Beneficiaries shall also be provided with school bags, books, stationery, socks, and shoes for their studies.

In addition, domestic amenities such as electricity and water supply shall be made available to the beneficiaries depending on their living conditions.

It is the belief of the Foundation that their living conditions play a major role in how productive they are in their respective schools.

In all, the Foundation spends approximately One million, three hundred thousand Ghana Cedis (Ghc1,300,000.00) yearly as its contribution to the educational sector alone and this accounts for its largest expenditure.
