Through the partnership, churches under GPCC will now recruit volunteer teachers and provide infrastructure for the nationwide running of the programme.
The official launch of the initiative was at the climax of the GPCC Week celebration, christened United for God’s Glory
Bridge the gap
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of KLM, Pastor Alex Gyasi, said the programme would bridge the gap between children with quality education and children without quality education because of financial constraints.
It would also support underprivileged young children by providing supplementary education to improve their prospects by giving them quality education.
Pastor Gyasi added that the KLM had partnered GPCC so that the church could own the vision of KLM and make it sustainable for the future.
“And that this model is different because we want the church to open their doors as centres of learning and mobilise young men and young women who have the ability to teach and give their time voluntarily to help our children,” he said.
