In August 2023, during a family visit to Gianchere Primary Special Needs School in Kenya, John Davie Jr. observed that the 140 children attending lacked a playground. Touched by this observation, the Davie family embarked on a mission to gift them one.

Breaking ground on February 2nd, the JD Jr. playground project will not only feature a full volleyball court but also a football (soccer) pitch, intended for both the school and the wider community.

With an anticipated completion date set for April 2024, this initiative aims to provide a space for children to play and enjoy physical activities. All of this has been made possible within a budget of $3500, ensuring a meaningful contribution to the children’s well-being and recreational opportunities.

In August of 2023, the GO Fund broke ground to establish a much-needed maternity ward in the Abura Asebu Kwamankese District of Ghana. In a region where woman previously gave birth at home, hours from the nearest “clinic”, this new maternity ward will impact 8 communities and touch the lives of 3,000 individuals, providing a safe haven for expectant mothers, ensuring they receive vital medical attention and support during childbirth.

The ward itself will have a capacity to care for 8-10 woman at a time and offers these woman a dignified space for recovery, healing and well-being. With building plans in place and a budget of $47,000, the GO Fund  is looking for support in bringing this vision to reality. Much more than just the construction of a medical ward, this project signifies hope, resilience and a brighter future for countless woman and their families.

The Youth Entrepreneurial Center in Ohiaba Community is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at empowering the next generation of young food entrepreneurs. Inspired by the success of the Buyers Edge Farming Culinary & Entrepreneurial Center in Ghana, this project is driven by a shared vision of fostering economic growth, innovation, and community development. With the generous support of the Davie Family Foundation, the project is poised to make a significant impact on the lives of aspiring entrepreneurs and the broader community.

The project commenced with the strategic acquisition of land in Ohiaba Community, laying the groundwork for the establishment of the Youth Entrepreneurial Center. This pivotal step, made possible through the support of the Davie Family Foundation, marks the inception of a transformative journey towards empowering local youth and addressing societal challenges.

Drawing inspiration from the mission of the Buyers Edge center, the Youth Entrepreneurial Center aims to bridge the gap between local talent and global expertise in the food industry. By leveraging technology, fostering innovation, and providing mentorship, the center seeks to equip young entrepreneurs with the tools and skills needed to thrive in the competitive food market. The ultimate goal is to foster economic growth, stimulate innovation, and contribute to the fight against food insecurity by ensuring that ventures emerging from the center play a vital role in feeding the hungry, both locally and beyond.

The Youth Entrepreneurial Center will serve as a hub of innovation and collaboration, offering training, mentorship, and resources to aspiring food entrepreneurs. Through workshops, seminars, and hands-on experiences, participants will gain valuable insights into various aspects of food production, culinary arts, business management, and market dynamics. The center will facilitate networking opportunities, connecting entrepreneurs with industry experts, investors, and potential collaborators, thereby fostering a supportive ecosystem for growth and success.

Impact: The establishment of the Youth Entrepreneurial Center represents more than just a physical infrastructure; it signifies a commitment to creating sustainable pathways to prosperity and opportunity for the youth of Ohiaba Community. By empowering young entrepreneurs to create viable and impactful food businesses, the center will contribute to job creation, income generation, and community development. Moreover, by addressing food insecurity through innovative ventures, the center will make a tangible difference in the lives of those most in need, fulfilling the mission of the Davie Family Foundation to drive positive change and social impact.

Established by the GO Fund in 2013, Pathfinder School has grown to become a beacon of hope and opportunity for over 350 students up to grade 9. Situated in a community where financial challenges often limit access to quality education, Pathfinder offers a lifeline, providing free schooling to children living in poverty.

The school’s mission goes beyond just academics; it’s about nurturing holistic development, empowering each student to reach their full potential. This wouldn’t be possible without the combined support of the Davie Family Foundation and the GO Fund. While the school operates on a no-fee basis for underprivileged families, it also relies on contributions from those who can afford to pay and generous donations from supporters passionate about its cause.

In line with its commitment to providing a safe and stimulating environment for its students, Pathfinder is currently embarking on an exciting project: the construction of a playground. This playground isn’t just a space for fun and games; it’s a vital component of the school’s infrastructure, fostering physical activity, social interaction, and cognitive development.

As the playground takes shape, anticipation builds, but there’s one crucial detail yet to be finalized—the name. This isn’t just any playground; it’s a symbol of opportunity, resilience, and community spirit. It’s where children will laugh, learn, and create cherished memories for years to come.

The design of the playground reflects careful consideration for safety and inclusivity. Enclosed within a sturdy fence, it provides a secure space for children to play freely under the watchful eyes of teachers and staff. The equipment, carefully selected to cater to various ages and abilities, includes a merry-go-round, slides, a see-saw, and swings—three swings, to be precise, ensuring there’s always room for everyone to join in the fun!
