SCHOOL TRANSPORT SUPPORT PROGRAMME
The CTIW School Transport Project is designed to support school going children in deprived towns and villages with a means of transport managed by each school. The project is targeted at very deprived and remote villages where children must walk very long miles before getting to school and doing same back home. This unfortunately wears them out, affects the soundness and concentration levels of school going children during class hours contributing to the problem of poor academic student performance in these deprived settlements. The lack of proper road networks makes it almost impossible for vehicles to plough these routes which leaves inhabitants with walking as the only means of transport.
This means of transport will be provided through the sourcing of used bicycle and tricycle donations from developed countries across the world where used bicycles/tricycles are a major means of transport.
The project is also aimed at creating employment opportunities for inhabitants of these settlements, through the training of inhabitants with small start-up capital for the establishment of bicycle and tricycles servicing centres.
In addition, the project shall also improve the survival chances for medical emergencies in these deprived areas where pharmacies and health care centres are miles away resulting in tragedies and the loss of lives following their inability to find medical care on time with most medical emergencies especially pregnant women at childbirth.

SCHOOL FURNITURE SUPPORT PROGRAMME
CTIW Foundation in partnership with educational institutions across Ghana are facilitating and mobilizing unused teaching and learning resources along with school furniture to support and improve the quality of education in less privileged schools across the African continent. The School Support Program under CTIW Foundation’s Education Support Programme is designed to provide assistance to deprived and under-privileged schools in Africa, mostly located in unplanned townships. These townships develop as a result of poverty-driven re-settlements in the struggle for survival when low-income earners in developing townships are no more able to afford the cost of living and eventually move to resettle to virgin lands to survive without the knowledge of town planning and housing authorities in Africa.
The overwhelming nature of the rapid evolution of such unplanned settlements outruns national budgets making it impossible for the provision of adequate social amenities to support livelihoods in these areas and in most cases no resources at all to support budgetary allocation.

School Support Programme
The School Support Programme is designed to aid deprived schools and schools in rural areas through the support of privileged schools who have available resources to support schools in the described category. Privileged schools support with extra resources available to them, teaching and learning aids no more in use and general donations to less privileged schools to assist them offer higher quality education to children and teens in these poor communities with very little or no increase in cost of education to its students.

School Fees Support Programme
Privileged families participating in the School Fees Support Programme are encouraged to adopt and support needy children fund cost of their education. Individuals, families and couples sponsor school fees of beneficiary children and teens in these poor communities for their primary education, junior/ senior high school education and where possible tertiary education.

Community Home Tuition Programme
An extension program for the Education Support Programme is the Community Home Tuition Programme designed to fund and provide after school extra tuition support for children in rural communities whose parents cannot afford the cost of home tuition for their children but are funding basic education fees. The programme will be set up in community centres, church premises etc. to assist children and teens in these rural communities with class assignments and extra tuition to ensure these children achieve more available educational systems and excel with outstanding grades.
The overwhelming nature of the rapid evolution of such unplanned settlements outruns national budgets making it impossible for the provision of adequate social amenities to support livelihoods in these areas and in most cases no resources at all to support budgetary allocation.
