About Us

Okyerema International Foundation (OIF) is a Canadian-registered non-profit charitable

organization that has been dedicated to supporting the scholastic dreams of underprivileged

students in Ghana for over 12 years (2010). It is rooted in the belief that education is the key to

breaking the cycle of poverty.

​We are a small but determined grassroots organization born from the compassion and firsthand

experience of our founder and president, Paul Ameyaw. Growing up in the Techiman

Metropolitan of Ghana, Paul witnessed many childrens’ challenges in accessing education. Paul is determined to make a difference; he took action by raising funds to provide bursaries that

help underprivileged students stay in school and pursue their dreams.

​

Through community-driven fundraising efforts, OIF has supported numerous students on their

academic journeys. After a brief pause post-COVID, the Foundation has been reignited with a

passionate team of volunteers, working towards building a fully operational support system.

With renewed energy, we are committed to bridging the gap in education access—one bursary

at a time.
