St. Joseph the Worker Basic School
Basic School, the equivalent to primary school in the US, is the gateway to a greater education. St. Joseph Basic School is a part of St. Joseph the Worker Parish in Mamponteng, Ghana.
Our Lady of Grace Senior High School
Senior High School is essential to unlocking a college education in Ghana. At Our Lady of Grace SHS in Mamponteng, Ghana, a state-of-the-art school, students are challenged and formed into the leaders of tomorrow. For many students, this opportunity would be impossible without Rise & Shine.
