Sponsor a Child: Nurturing tomorrow’s eco-champions today

In the heart of Ghana’s battle against environmental degradation, the launch of the MGL/Safari Valley Eco Initiative is more than a programme; it’s a lifeline. A bold call to action to save our planet by empowering our most precious resource—our children.

This groundbreaking initiative, a collaboration between the Multimedia Group Limited and Safari Valley Eco-Park, seeks to transform the future by nurturing the next generation of eco-champions.
The goal? To equip students, including those from underprivileged schools and areas devastated by illegal mining, with the tools and knowledge to combat the environmental crises we face.

Imagine a child, eyes wide with wonder, stepping into the wild beauty of Safari Valley for the first time. A child from a community where rivers run brown with pollution, where forests are vanishing, and where illegal mining strips the land bare. For this child, the Eco Initiative is not just an educational tour—it’s a glimpse of hope, a chance to learn about conservation, biodiversity, and the critical importance of protecting our natural heritage.

A Future at Risk, A Generation Awakened

Board Chairman of Safari Valley Eco-Park, Ernest Gyekye spoke with urgency at the launch on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show.

“Our goal is to create an eco-conscious society, starting with young minds who will grow to value and protect Ghana’s natural heritage.” The message is clear: we cannot wait. The future of our planet—and our nation—is in the hands of these young individuals. But without the knowledge, without the opportunity, they cannot fight for a future they don’t even know is slipping away.

The MGL/Safari Valley Eco Initiative offers students hands-on experiences that foster a deep connection to nature. These young learners will walk through the lush forests of Safari Valley, understanding the delicate balance of ecosystems. They will witness firsthand the devastating effects of deforestation and water pollution. And most importantly, they will be inspired to be the change-makers our world so desperately needs.

But they need more than inspiration. They need you.

Sponsor a Child: Give Them the Tools to Protect Tomorrow

The success of this initiative rests in the hands of those who believe in the power of education. And that’s where you come in. For as little as ¢150, you can sponsor a child to join this transformative programme. Imagine what that contribution can do. It’s not just about a day in nature—it’s about planting the seeds of environmental stewardship in a child who might one day lead the fight against climate change or restore a ravaged ecosystem.

For many of these children, this programme will be their first real encounter with nature. It may spark dreams of becoming an environmental scientist, a conservationist, or simply a citizen who cares deeply for the land that sustains them. Your support will make that possible.

Why Sponsor?

Because this is not just about Ghana’s environment—it’s about Ghana’s future. The Eco Initiative targets 80% of its participants from underprivileged schools, ensuring that those who have been most affected by environmental devastation are given the opportunity to rise above it. These children, many from Galamsey-ravaged areas, will not only learn about conservation but will also become advocates in their communities, spreading the message of sustainability far and wide.

By sponsoring a child, you are not just giving them a one-time experience; you are helping to ignite a lifelong passion for environmental protection. You are enabling them to see beyond the immediate destruction, to dream of a future where Ghana’s rivers run clear and its forests thrive.

A Movement, Not Just a Programme

The MGL/Safari Valley Eco Initiative is not a standalone project; it’s a movement. A movement that needs individuals, corporations, and communities to rally behind it. By sponsoring a child, you join this movement, one that aims to reshape our national policy on the environment and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.

The question is simple: Will you be part of the change? Will you help us build a nation of eco-warriors who will fight for the land, the water, the air? Your contribution, no matter how small, can make a world of difference.

How to Sponsor a Child

Sponsorship starts at just ¢150 for primary to JHS students and ¢320 for high school and tertiary students. You can also choose to sponsor an entire school, ensuring that many more students benefit from this life-changing experience.

Your support will create more than eco-champions—it will create a future where our children can breathe cleaner air, drink unpolluted water, and walk through forests that are no longer at risk of disappearing.

This is your call to action. Together, let’s sponsor a child today and plant the seeds for a greener, more sustainable tomorrow.

The Future Is in Their Hands—But It Starts with You.
