Approach
StepUp Ed was registered in Ghana as a nonprofit organization in 2022 (and subsequently in the United States of America as a 501(c)3 in 2023). Driven by our core values and recognizing the power of partnerships in addressing systemic inequities in education access for children with special needs, we partner with foundations, philanthropists, schools, communities, and local governments to:
Remove Barriers to Education
· Promote inclusive education by providing financial support and extra learning materials for special needs youth.
· Provide financial support for tertiary education for well-abled youths.
Empower/Prepare for The Future
· Collaborate with secondary, post-secondary and vocational institutions to educate and train youths with special needs.
· Connect both groups to career counselors in penultimate and final years.
