to the world.
Twenty-five years ago, BASICS International began in Chorkor, Ghana with a simple mission: to break the cycle of poverty by providing children and families with the tools and opportunities needed to build sustainable futures.
What began as a small educational sponsorship initiative has grown into a global, community-driven organisation impacting thousands of lives across five interlocking programs.
Twenty-Five Years
