Educational Development Projects Edp Trust

Educational Development Projects (EDP) Trust is a U.K. charity (1129398) whose mission is to provide high quality senior secondary education for free to the neediest youth in the Awutu-Senya district, Ghana through the establishment of Awutu-Winton Senior High School. Awutu-Winton Senior High School (AWSHS) is a non-profit, private senior secondary education institution dedicated to combating poverty in the immediate communities surrounding the project site in Awutu-Bereku, Central Region, Ghana, through its innovative educational model which marries the best practices of Ghanaian and U.K. education. According to The Africa Report (April 2014), enrollment in senior high school for appropriate-aged youth drops to 31.7 per cent compared to 80.6 per cent enrollment in junior high school in Ghana. EDP Trust, through AWSHS, focuses on these youth who have 'dropped out' of the 'academic track', those who would otherwise not be able to access education at the senior high school level.
