    Dream Big Ghana

    Dream Big Ghana Foundation


    Type of organization
    Dream Big Ghana is a charity based in the United Kingdom established to support the activities
    of the Dream Big Foundation NGO located in Ghana. As a charity founded in 2013, they
    support the work of its sister NGO in Ghana by raising funds and publicizing its work
    outside the Volta Region where they are located in Ghana.

    Goal/Mission/Vision
    The purpose of Dream Big Ghana Foundation (DBGF) is to promote and support the charitable
    work of Dream Big Ghana NGO in the following core areas sanitation, public health, education
    and youth sports development.

    Thematic areas of interest


    The areas of interest of Dream Big Ghana Foundation are:
    Sanitation
    The Dream Big Foundation in collaboration with the University of Nottingham embarked on a
    programme called The No Flush! Project. This engaged undergraduate students from the
    University of Nottingham through CASCADE, to send students as volunteers for a 3week
    period. This project they embarked upon made them construct compost toilets in some areas of
    Ghana. One of the areas where they carried out this project was in Dzita and Abgledomi, which
    are rural communities in Volta Region of Ghana.
    Public Health
    Public health is a serious issue in Ghana. Due to this, Dream Big Ghana Foundation has
    collaborated with the University of Nottingham for students to have a healthcare elective where
    they can have a placement in the local community hospital in Ghana. This local hospital, Keta
    District Hospital has been the location for internships for students from the University of
    Nottingham. Theyve not just come to practice and help out, but also learnt about the culture of
    the local community.
    Education
    Dream Big Ghana Foundation in partnership with Dream Big Ghana NGO believes in the
    importance of Education. It has decided to support children by getting volunteers willing to teach
    3

    Maths, English, Art and ICT subjects with other classroom teachers, thereby making an impact
    on the lives and future of the children.
    Youth Sports Development
    One of the key objectives of Dream Big Ghana Foundation is to support Sports Development in
    the local villages where it operates. Due to this, they have earmarked football as one of the ways
    that this can be achieved. With this in mind, they decided to support a Junior Football Academy
    because of the popularity of football in Ghana and how it fosters development in the community.
    Furthermore, there are opportunities for a scholarship for students who have exceptional talent as
    this could be the chance to have a bright future.

    Overview of spend
    Over the course of its work in Ghana, Dream Big Ghana has spent money in the Volta Region;
    specifically in Dzita and Abgledomi. They have raised over 1,000 from various projects. Some

    of them include:
    Reggae and Afrobeat Night: This was held at the University of Nottingham and over 400
    was raised in the process.
    Toilet Twinning Initiative: This initiative was the brainchild of Chris Croudace; the Chair of
    Dream Big Ghana Foundation, which was held at Frome and over 500 was raised. The
    motivation behind this initiative was due to the poor sanitation record in Ghana, preventing
    diseases like diarrhoea and its impact on the health of people in the local community
