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.

Interested candidates are invited to submit a letter outlining their relevant experience and
