New Matching Grant for PAMBE Ghana!
The Paul Milburn Gift Fund at the Oklahoma City Community Foundation recently approved a matching grant for PAMBE Ghana! The Fund will match each dollar raised between now and June 30, 2020, up to $34,200. At the end of December, 2019, the fund will provide PAMBE Ghana with a match for the amount raised by that time.

This will include funding for teacher training at La’Angum Learning Center (LLC) and for sending two teachers to Accra for Montessori certifications. Further, PAMBE Ghana will be able to contribute to the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) for completion of the teachers’ dormitory. When completed, teachers with a long commute can stay close to the school during the week. PAMBE Ghana’s contribution will further enhance our valuable partnership with the PTA at LLC in Ghana.
We are appreciative and grateful for the support of the Paul Milburn Gift Fund at the Oklahoma City Community Foundation!
Help Us Meet Our Match
Did you know?
PAMBE Ghana’s teachers presently earn less than those who serve at Ghanaian Education Service (“GES”) schools and La’Angum Learning Center risks losing Montessori trained teachers to the GES. Thanks to the generosity of the Liddell Foundation and Mother Huggers, PAMBE Ghana will begin to implement its long-time plan of responsibly raising teacher salaries. Please join Mother Huggers by making a tax deductible donation to support increased teacher compensation. Please see more at motherhuggers.us to see that organization’s good work done locally and internationally
