What your donation buys

Your Donation to PAMBE Ghana pays primarily for school support and learning related material; we keep our administrative expenses as low as possible. In fact, 93 cents of every dollar goes directly to the school, La’Angum Learning Center. We can do this because most of our U.S.-based staff are unpaid volunteers who have a strong commitment to PAMBE Ghana’s mission. Read more about our Board and staff.
