Mission Statement

About This Cause
TEABAG is a very small charity, based in London and Cambridge. It is registered with the UK Charity Commission (No.1126462). It is entirely run by volunteers, who pay for their own travel to Ghana. All the money we are given goes to support people in Ghana as all the administrative costs are given for free by our trustees. TEABAG has been involved in these villages since 2001 and now sponsors over 300 children in Mankoadze and the two neighbouring villages of Onyadze and Abrekum supporting them with school uniforms, shoes, examination fees and opportunities to take part in regional sports activities. In due course, the sponsored children graduated from school, but generally did not have academic skills that enabled them to go on to High School. In 2009, the charity responded to this by setting up a Vocational Training College in the village. This now has 150 students from the ages of 16-26. They are taught a three-year course, offering the following specialist subjects: ·Building & construction ·Electrical Installation ·Catering ·Textiles and dressmaking ·Information Technology All the students study English, Maths and basic computer usage as well as Entrepreneurship.
