Mission Statement:

“Dominic’s Dream” was originally conceived by Father Dominic Baffour-Akowuah in the early 1990’s for the sole purpose of providing progressive, quality educational opportunities for the children of Ampabame II School in Ampabame, located in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.

Ampabame is Fr. Dominic's hometown. Father attended elementary school in the same educational facility in Ampabame that he now intends to replace with a new school.

Fr. Dominic’s dream of affording this educational opportunity was later furthered through the creation in 2001 of the Baanu Ye Na Education Fund, so-named by Fr. Dominic and which, as translated, means “to be two is a treasure”.

Father Dominic believes that a quality education gives a student the means to not only help himself or herself, but the community at large. The Ghanaian workforce is eager to be productive, but many do not have a quality education. Therefore, our small effort in changing the way of life of these children will pay big dividends over the longer term.

For some time now, Father Dominic has been putting together plans for a Catholic elementary school in his village in Ghana. The village has provided five acres of land on which to build the school. Father Dominic has the full support of local authorities and the Ghanaian government.

The total cost to build the school as contemplated by Father Dominic will be in the general range of $50,000 U.S. dollars, of which $5,000 has already been collected this year through the generosity and prayerful giving of Father Dominic’s friends here in the U.S.

It should also be duly noted that the construction of this school will result in a positive economic impact in the area surrounding Father Dominic’s hometown, given the need for construction, employment and bringing in additional job opportunities for individuals who are interested in having good schools available. Overall, the impact of this project could be immense and touch the lives of a large number of Ghanaians in the Ashanti Region.
