About us
Rooted in the Sisaala area, built for its girls.
The Elizabeth Bayong Foundation is a new community-based organisation working to raise educational engagement, literacy and exam results across the four Sisaala districts of the Upper West Region.
Our mission
Better results, and more girls going further
To improve educational engagement, literacy, BECE and WASSCE performance among students in the four Sisaala districts, with a specific focus on empowering female students.
Our approach

We partner with the Ghana Education Service, GNAT, traditional authorities and Catholic education units, and run every program on the academic-year cycle, from registration to competitions, awards and reporting.
