Welcome! One Step Learning (OSL) thank you for taking the time to read about the humble and noble early childhood learning cause for impoverished children in Entumbil Ghana. In the literature we hope you finding meaning to do social good in your strategic giving and you will donate to the cause. The Accountability Page strategic documents demonstrate OSL foresight and sustainability planning towards the 30 years building and space donation received. We need your help during the implementation phase.
OSL humble Founders generously donated a large building with huge spaces as seed money for early childhood learning daycare in Entumbil Ghana. Daycare opened in October 2021 with 11 kids now we serve 80 children daily. Support the cause 
Concept in your strategic charitable gift giving plans to sustain and grow the daycare. Impoverished rural children get the opportunity to learn through play to become lifelong learners of tomorrow through your global philanthropy reach. Spread your corporate or personal values for social good. Designate OSL in your annual United Way giving. Every bit helps. See donors benefits below.
Children Learn using the world around them
To enable affordability in the Entumbil farming community, OSL charges a one-time registration fee of GHC 20 (twenty Ghana cedis, equivalent to Cdn$3 and USD$2), and a daily attendance fee of GHC4 (50 cents Canadian and 30 cents USD$). The parents’ daily attendance fee contribution only covers daily feeding for the children and sanitation supplies.
The projected monthly program staff salaries and education supplies of $3,500 can only be provided through voluntary donations and contributions by willing sponsors and partners like you.
Please consider donating cash, materials, toys, and human resources to sustain the pre-school learning experience for the needy rural children, who are now tasting the opportunity of literacy and quality development.
Daycare opened 18 October 2021 with 11 kids, now we serve 80 children. Playground structures needed.

There are opportunities for donors, researchers, and corporations to explore the huge impact the daycare is making to the development and lifelong learning skills of the rural children.
In stewardship to our donors, another innovation using the world around us is that OSL has started planting Teak tress on the compound in honour of key donors. Teak tress last for long time. It is a symbol to cement our relationship and bond with donors for their social good.
Opportunities exist for donors to support construction of a playground, trails, the learning garden, and cash towards operational needs, educational materials, electronics, toys, staff and research volunteers. Spread your corporate or personal values for social good. Designate OSL in your annual United Way giving. Every bit helps
We invite you to read the Generosity Shines presentation.
