The life of a German volunteer in Ghana
Hi everyone, my name is Janne, I am 22 years old, and I have worked as a volunteer at Grow Ghana for the last year. Moving from Germany to Ghana through the weltwärts-program, which supports young people in volunteering abroad, I was really excited about the local culture, the food and of course the way…
What students think
Yes, I would recommend it to others, because you have the freedom to say what you want […] and it helps you with IT-skills.
Priscilla 15, Grow Ghana Student

Impact
Basic IT Education is a MUST for future JOBS!
The students of today are the employees, entrepreneurs, and leaders of tomorrow. But how do you expect them to create value if basic skills are never taught?
Meet Elizabeth, 16 years old, in Junior High School. She never touched a computer before and never used the internet. She is used to repeating what the teacher says – and gets good grades for that. But she has never learned how to express her own thoughts, work in a team, or think critically. She struggles to organize herself if exposed to a new task. Her self-confidence is low, as her voice is not heard.
Exposed to a youth coding project (Scratch), Elizabeth could explore a digital world and build her own projects in a playful way. She can feel how successful teamwork leads to results, she can be creative. At the same time, she will only be successful if she thinks critically and follows the logic of the code.
This empowers her to develop & grow herself, get exposed, and get pre-qualified for a formal job in the future. Maybe she even becomes a digital native and leader? We believe that playful IT training with a focus on coding is the ideal tool to unlock & grow vital skills of young students.
