Kojopor: Where Faith Stands—but Classrooms Don’t
Kojopor is a peaceful island community on the Volta Lake. Life here is calm, united, and deeply rooted in faith. A Methodist church stands strong. A Church of Pentecost is rising. Every Sunday, worship fills the air.
But there is one thing missing.
There is no school. Children in Kojopor do not start school at age five. They wait until they are seven—or older—because parents cannot risk sending them across the lake.
One elder recalls starting school at 15 years old, not out of choice, but out of fear of the water that separates them from opportunity.
As night falls, learning ends.
Kojopor has no electricity, even though solar-powered farms glow just across the same lake.
This is an island of peace—but peace should not mean being left behind.
Today, we call on the Methodist Church Ghana and the Church of Pentecost, along with partners and friends across Ghana and the world, to turn faith into action.
Let us build a basic school in Kojopor—a safe place where children can learn from kindergarten to age 10, without crossing dangerous waters, without waiting years to begin their dreams.
A school here is not just a building.
It is safety.
It is dignity.
It is the future.
If churches can rise in Kojopor, classrooms can too. Join us. Support the call. Tag any and every relevant person of Methodist and Pentecost church that they have a duty to perform.
Because every child deserves a classroom—no matter how small the island.
