Surpassing Our Goal: How Your Support is Transforming Schools Across Africa
Schools of Africa Project
In the early 90s, WFWP Japan launched international cooperation activities through Japanese overseas volunteers who served around the world. With their dedicated hearts, these women went to nations in greatest need and to neighborhoods across the globe. They established schools, supported educational opportunities for those in need, and created pathways for women and girls to build promising futures.

Adult Literacy Classes in Ethiopia
WFWP’s One Hope Garden Literacy Classes in Ethiopia, part of our Schools of Africa initiative, have continued to make a significant impact since their restart in 2014. The program has supported over 2,000 individuals, with thirty women currently benefiting from essential literacy and numeracy education. They receive necessary supplies and celebrate milestones with special ceremonies and certificates. This program has been recognized for its effectiveness, reflecting the valuable role of our support in improving literacy and empowering women.
School Support in Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique
Guinea-Bissau:
A $2,000 donation has greatly contributed to repairing the roof of a classroom at Escola de Ensino Basico - Sunac. While the rainy season has delayed the completion of repairs, the funds are instrumental in enhancing the school’s infrastructure, ensuring a better learning environment for students.
Mozambique:
The $5,000 donation to Sun of Mozambique Junior & Senior High School funded the construction of a new school warehouse and supported essential operating expenses. This contribution is making a meaningful difference for the school, which currently serves 503 students and has a total of 15,000 graduates since its opening.
