ABOUT US
About Our Education Programs
Adidome Good Shepherds Foundation was founded in 2008 with the spirit and ethos of Samuel Chauncey Goka who believed in the innate ability of the young people who participated in the programs he established and constantly assured young people that if they were prepared to try, they would be amazed at what they could accomplish. ‘In fact,’ he told them: ‘we should consider ourselves a AGSF Society’.
Initially, AGSF developed youth clubs and provided trade training as a constructive answer to the juvenile delinquency problems of that time. Since then, AGSF has broadened its reach and developed programs to meet the ever-changing needs of disadvantaged young people, long term unemployed and school dropout who live in district.
Today, AGSF’S programs include: Vocational programs for the long-term unemployed, literacy & numeracy educational programs, employment programs for the disadvantaged sector of the community, supported accommodation for homeless students, 29 outside school hours care and holiday care programs for disabled and disadvantaged primary school-aged children, including programs conducted in rural locations of Central Tongu, preschool education through our 42 preschools particularly for their children, and a support program designed to assist teenagers who care for their disabled or chronically ill parent or sibling.
