Our Goal
Objectives
Intended Achievements
- Ensure that educational requirements of beneficiaries are met.
- To encourage independent study and academic excellence.
- Empower beneficiaries to mutually cooperate by sharing skills, information and resources.
- Build a culture of giving back to ensure beneficiaries return to their communities to transfer/share knowledge and mentor other needy children.
- Provide opportunities for students, parents and the community to work together.
The Foundation seeks to remove the barriers to education by;
- Paying the tuition of our wards
- Providing extra quality tuition when need be
- Providing our wards with learning materials
- Providing monthly allowance
Management of CoHF visit local government schools and deprived villages to identify needy yet motivated students. Children living in reduced circumstances are those whose parents are unable to provide three meals a day, pay school fees, provide school uniforms, school supplies and pocket money. These identified children fill application forms and are interviewed for literacy and numeracy. Management then pays unofficial visits to potential candidates to ascertain and verify authenticity of information provided.
Selected applicants are medically screened together with existing CoHF children to prepare them for the next academic year, beginning September each year. New students will be ushered into CoHF’s programme on Orientation Day to be organized in January. This practice assists parents/guardians and new students to acquaint themselves with rules and regulations.
Mariam Abubakar
BENEFICIARYMy name is Mariam Abubakar and I am a third year economics student in the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology. I have been on this scholarship scheme since my second year.
This scholarship came right at the point where I did not know where funding for my next tuition was going to come from. By being a beneficiary, the financial burden on my single mother who has to take care of three children all in the university has been lightened. I am truly grateful for this opportunity. I pledge to give my best and finish well so I can contribute my quota to the motherland. I plan to pursue a career in Data Analysis. Thanks to this scholarship, I am one step closer to my goal.
Bawa Gumah Manaf
BENEFICIARYI am Bawa Gumah Manaf, a land economy graduate from the Kwame Nkrumah university of science and technology. I come from Pusiga in the upper east region of Ghana. I am a proud beneficiary of Cover of Hope foundation scholarship. I come from a family where it was very difficult and sometimes impossible to get three square meals a day, to even think about educating a child which was going to be an extra cost was unlikely.
When I broke the news of the cover of Hope foundation funding my education to my single mother, she broke down in tears. I wouldn’t have come this far had it not been the help and support of the cover of Hope Foundation. I am eternally grateful to all the financiers of this great charitable foundation. May the Almighty God bless you .

BENEFICIARYThank you, Cover of Hope Scholarship foundation, for giving me this opportunity to further my education at the university. After High School in 2018, I really didn’t have any hope in continuing due to financial difficulties the family was facing. My dream of becoming an engineer seemed like it was going to remain a dream.
Cover of Hope foundation has provided funding for my tuition, residential fees as well as monthly stipends and other benefits. Through this opportunity I have access to lectures, Labs and practical and accommodation as well as food. This has also granted me the peace of mind in furthering my course in the University. Now I can realize my dream of becoming an Engineer.
Thank you, Cover of Hope Foundation

The Foundation directs its monitoring activities to project inputs, processes and outputs. Our monitoring system comprises three (3) critical components: collecting information, evaluating that information and evaluating results in project action.
Depending on the outcome of this evaluation, management decides upon actions to be taken, and/well adjusts the expected progress. This process helps the foundation to concentrate on project variables: children, teachers, curriculum, equipment and organizational leadership.
Comparing new and old reports on the quantity and quality of relevant data, consulting about the policies and activities with project staff and users of information enable weekly, monthly and quarterly reports to be generated to donor agencies and stakeholders.
Our objective seeks to see to the end success of each beneficiary and as such, enroll these programmes;
- Mentorship Programmes
- Career Building Schemes
- Internship Opportunities
- Long term Growth Plan for each Beneficiary
