Who funds us
We are funded through our annual membership fees GHC50, sponsorships by groups or foundations the generosity of fellow AGOSANs, or the families of old students who have established memorials
How funds are used
Every gift to AGOSA is used wisely and conservatively to help provide urgent needs of the school, refurbish AGISS and to support some charitable organizations in the vicinity of the AGISS campus, projects to alleviate diseases of poverty (malaria), which cover infectious diseases and the culture and environment that contribute to these problems, water and sanitation etc. When you give, you help to support dozens of efforts, please refer to our projects list.

Giving to the less privileged – e.g. Dzorwulu Special School
When families struggle with grief, confusion and tragedy, your gift will help them find some healing and hope, e.g. High turn-up of AGOSANS and their collective donation and support to the bereaved families.
Sponsoring walks for projects
