ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION
Sankofa Global Education was founded with the belief that study abroad should be accessible to all! Our program gives low-income high school students the opportunity to travel to study ecology, arts and history while immersed in Ghana or Vietnam.
Our programs are open to high school juniors and seniors and are funded substantially by our corporate partners! We are a non-profit 501(c) 3 charitable organization, so all donations are tax deductible!
