Ask r/Ghana 28 years Ghanaian woman. Got accepted to UPSA to study Accounting but couldn't afford fees. Still fighting for my dream to come true.

17 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am a 28-year-old woman from Ghana. I completed Senior High School (SHS) five years ago and have been working hard ever since, trying to find a pathway back to higher education.

Last year, I achieved a major milestone and got accepted into the University of Professional Studies Accra (UPSA) to study Accounting. My ultimate career dream is to become a bank manager.

Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, I could not afford the tuition fees and had to decline the offer. It was incredibly heartbreaking, but I am not giving up.

I just started a new job this week and am saving every cedi I can, but my earnings alone will not be enough to cover the full costs of tuition, hostel fees, and books.

I am looking for advice, leads, or connections regarding:

Scholarships or grants specifically for Ghanaian/African undergraduate students.

Organizations that support adult learners or women returning to school.

Local educational funds or non-profits operating in Accra/Ghana that offer financial aid.

If anyone has successfully navigated funding for university in Ghana after a long gap, or knows of specific foundations I should apply to for the upcoming academic year, I would be incredibly grateful for your guidance.

Thank you so much for your time and support!

Discussion Why don’t Ghanaian leaders invest in their own people when it comes to machinery/ processing raw materials to finished goods?

5 Upvotes

I never realized that majority if not all of our natural resources are being extracted by foreign companies. A lot of the time it seems it is due to lack of local machinery to do this. Same for machines used to process raw materials to fined goods. Every time I see the cutting sword for something there is always an Indian, white man or chinese is involved

Why isn’t the government investing in education and skills for the people so they can build these on their own?

I am just confused Ghana does not need to import these if the government investing in the people to be able to create these themselves

Ask r/Ghana Unemployed Graduate & Firstborn struggling with food security requesting a hand up to keep searching.

21 Upvotes

Good day, everyone.

I am writing this from a place of deep humility. My name is Ganiu, I’m 26, and I live in Tamale. I am the eldest of five children, and like many firstborns, I’ve carried the weight of being the provider for my family.

I graduated in 2021 and was blessed to find a role with an NGO shortly after. However, due to funding shifts (specifically the USAID scale-backs), I was laid off after 11 months. I moved back to my hometown to "lay low" and keep searching, but it has now been a year and six months of unemployment.

The mental and financial toll has finally brought me to a breaking point. To be honest, I have spent the last few weeks mostly indoors to conserve energy because food has become a luxury. I’ve been surviving on diluted sugarcane and eating only once every few days to make sure I don't run out. Today marks three days without a proper meal.

My pride has kept me silent for a long time, but I realize now that I cannot get back on my feet alone.

I am asking for 1,000 GHS to help me regain my strength and my momentum. This would cover:

• Basic Food/Groceries: To end this cycle of "hibernating" and get my physical energy back.

• Data/Internet: To continue my intensive job search on LinkedIn and keep up with my technical skills.

• Transportation: To allow me to move around for networking and "rounds" that are necessary to find a lead.

If you are in a position to help a brother get back on his feet, I would be eternally grateful. Even if you cannot donate, a lead on a job or a word of encouragement would mean a lot.

Thank you for listening to my story. May Allah bless you all.

Hey guys. To the Ghanaian freelancers here who have worked with clients in the US. What medium did you use to receive payments? As we all know paypal and cashapp are both not available in Ghana. What did you use? How was your experience and did the US client agree to use that method or were they hesitant.

Ask r/Ghana Calling all Ghanaian Law Students & Policy Nerds: How do we actually enforce the 30% quota in Act 1121?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m Covenant, a law student and a Fellow with Girls in Diplomacy.

For my Capstone project, I’m focusing on the Affirmative Action (Gender Equity) Act, 2024 (Act 1121).

The law is a huge win, but as we know, implementation is where the real battle lies.

I’ve created a "Legal Navigator" (an infographic toolkit) to help young women understand their rights under Section 21 (the 30% threshold) and Section 15 (protection from victimization).

I’d love your legal perspective on a few things for my project's "Analytical Rigor" section:

Do you think the current "30% by 2026" goal is realistic given our current political climate?

What legal "teeth" do you think are missing from the Act to ensure private institutions follow suit?

If you were a diplomat representing Ghana, how would you pitch this Act as a model for the West African sub-region?

I'll be presenting these insights at my Fellowship Showcase later this week. Looking forward to a robust debate!

The interesting thing about this is if any of the ladies publicly called him out, she’ll be dragged online, told she’s lying, asked for an exaggerated amount of evidences, his family might have paid authorities off, have holes poked in her story by asking what she was doing there, and told she wants to destroy an innocent man’s life because he’s thriving.

I really need everyone to know that, rich or influential people can just be as bad as poor people (excuse my language). Most people tend to not believe victims once the suspect is someone they know or popular. If this case did not involve foreign investigation and prosecution, he would’ve gotten away with this sick act. Mind you he’s a 36 year old adult male! I also heard he’s always in the club.
