About This Cause
Building schools and shaping futures since 2004 The founder of Schools of Dreams, Dora Anie, traveled to her home country of Ghana for the first time in 13 years; it was 2003, and her daughters Ann-Marie and Barbara went too. While there they visited the village of Mepom, Ghana, the place where she was born and raised. While in Mepom they also visited the school – that Dora had attended. It was unrecognizable; the conditions were deplorable—crumbling concrete walls, scant supplies. When they arrived back in Canada, Dora experienced a heartfelt need to reach out to the children of Mepom. She began working on a plan to raise money to rebuild the school and provide supplies to the students. Seeing the terrible condition of the school and nursery and the lack of available resources, she decided to create an environment conducive to learning for the youngest children of that village. With the help of the church communities at MacNab Street Presbyterian in Hamilton, and Knox Preston Presbyterian in Cambridge, Ontario, as well as many other donors, Dora’s long-held dream to help the children of Ghana to receive an education was realized. In 2004, the project was named Dora’s Dream, and three years later a nursery, kindergarten school and kitchen were completed and handed over to the Mepom community, along with clothing, school and cooking supplies, and a water poly tank.
