Your Donation Supports Girls' Education in Cocoa-Growing Communities

About Cocoa360

Cocoa360 is a nonprofit organization improving health and education outcomes in cocoa-growing communities through its innovative Farm-for-Impact model. Since 2017, we've proven that communities can lead their own healthcare and education and win.

Since our inception, the Tarkwa Breman Girls’ School has enrolled 360 girls and counting, with our first graduating class achieving a 100% BECE pass rate. The school brings education to girls across Tarkwa Breman and its 7 surrounding villages, bridging critical education gaps, especially in retention for girls most at risk of dropping out because of cost, distance, or family circumstances. Because staying in school depends on more than tuition, we also screen and treat farming families for the occupational hazards of their work—the pesticide, heat, and dust exposure that can affect a child's concentration and long-term health, and that too often turns into missed school days when left untreated.

The Challenge: A Term Gap

Without steady support each term, families in rural cocoa communities face a familiar choice—pull a girl from school or go without something else essential. It rarely happens all at once. A missed uniform this term, a skipped meal the next, a transport cost that adds up, and each gap makes the next more likely, until a girl who was enrolled stops coming. Health plays a role too: constant exposure to pesticides, heat, and dust on the farm can affect a child's concentration and development, and when a child or parent falls sick with no nearby clinic, school is often the first thing sacrificed.

The Solution: A Fully Resourced Term

This campaign equips our girls with everything a term requires—funded and delivered through what Cocoa360 already builds with our communities. Your gift helps us:

Keep every enrolled girl in class for the full term, with uniform and materials included
Provide daily meals that support concentration and steady attendance
Maintain transport support for girls in communities furthest from the campus
Extend health screening so illness doesn't interrupt a term

Beyond one term, every girl who stays enrolled strengthens the case that community-led education works, making Cocoa360 a model other farming regions can build on, not just a one-off program.

Join our Back to School Campaign to Make an Impact.

Your contribution is more than a donation—it's an investment in a model with years of proof behind it. You're not funding an experiment; you're funding the continuation of an education pipeline that's already kept hundreds of girls in school, term after term.

By supporting our Back to School campaign, you help ensure no girl's term stalls for lack of a uniform, a meal, or a way to get to class, and that what's working in these 8 communities can grow to reach more girls across Ghana's farming regions.

Thank you for your generosity and solidarity.
