VISION

Guinea Education Partners (GEP) seeks to support the school "Fraîche Rosée" (Fresh Dew) that is on the grounds adjacent to Compassion Evangelical Hospital in Mamou, Guinea, in West Africa.

Guinea has arguably the worst economy in the world. The educational needs are unmet and literacy rates are dismal. The school provides Christian Education in an underserved area, with better academic quality than the local population can find. It serves boys and girls of all tribes, ethnic backgrounds, and religious affiliations. It teaches the children of the hospital workers and missionaries who otherwise may not remain in an area void of quality education for their family, as well as the local children of the city of Mamou and the adjacent village.

ACTION

Guinea Education Partners supports the director of the school, advises on academic, managing and organizational needs, plans development, finances infrastructure, and equips them slowly as their capacity to handle growth increases. It seeks to do so without a dependency forming for everyday operations. The sustainability model is followed despite the exponential growth of the student population.

Guinea is an under-reached country in the French region of West Africa. We seek to meet the school community's physical, social, spiritual, emotional, and educational needs. Your financial partnership is essential to this project, as no un-raised funds will be spent. One hundred percent of your donations are used on the grounds of the school and are tax deductible. You may fund specific needs, designate a gift, give to our current projects or donate school equipment (new or used). We seek solutions that create independence, helping our neighbor with the love of Jesus Christ, and build the future, one child at a time.
