Resources for early years - Fante version

SU (Fante) - COLOURS (English)


Some of the resources designed for Fante-speaking communities in Ghana.
Most Fantes come from the Central or Western Region in the south-western part of Ghana.
They are called Akans.
Inheritance and succession to public office is mostly by matrilineal descent.
In the rural areas, the main occupations are fishing and farming.
Sankor and Gyangyanaase are coastal villages near Winneba in the Central Region of Ghana.

EDT-Africa in Ghana



EDT-Africa began operations in Ghana in 2001. 
(Education, Development and Training-Africa)
Over the past 10 years we have operated in Kwahinkrom, a small village of approximately 500 inhabitants in the Central Region of Ghana.
The success of this model has inspired EDT-Africa to replicate this in other rural and suburban settings like Kwabeng, Sankor, Gyangyanaase, La and Madina.

In 2008 we began operations in Kwabeng, Eastern Region.

In 2010 we officially expanded to Sankor and Gyangyanaase near Winneba in the Central Region.

We have also began projects in Madina and La in the Greater Accra Region.

EDT-Africa has through education and training, initiated various self-help projects  most of which are on-going.
This has greatly impacted the livelihoods of the people in the mostly rural communities we work in.
