Akwaaba, welcome.
We are Aya, a global nonprofit who’s mission is to break the cycle of poverty by removing barriers to education. Formerly The Senase Project, our values and goals have been refined through resiliency. We’re very glad you’re here.


Our work matters. Theirs matters more.
Multidimensional poverty hits differently, and over 80% of children in rural Ghana experience it in some way. Families struggle with unique factors, so there’s no single answer when it comes to increasing access to quality education. Helping them build their version of a brighter future. The Aya way.

Finding support for scholars
Funding an education is only the first of many challenges to overcome for children living in poverty. Committing to the program’s academic routines and long-term goals is where the real work happens, every day, and that’s something no amount of fundraising can do for them.

Student Scholarships
We are dedicated to meeting families where they are, and eliminating circumstantial financial barriers for young scholars.

Health & Wellness
A dedicated portion of your gift goes to meeting basic health and wellness needs of your student and their family.

Home Environment
Our certified education professionals work closely with families to establish a home environment that is conducive to learning.
