FOUNDATION FIRST

Godwin Agbavor and Julia Cave Smith's paths crossed in 2015 as they collaborated on a project to revolutionise kindergarten education in Ghana's Sekondi-Takoradi region. Driven by a shared passion for high-quality early childhood education, they founded Foundation First... Godwin's commitment to making a difference started with a conversation with a professor, leading him to become a dedicated teacher and role model for young children. However, he couldn't ignore the persisting educational shortcomings he once faced as a child - untrained teachers, corporal punishment, and scarce resources. Determined to address these issues, he focused on elevating early childhood education, often overlooked in Ghana. Over time, Godwin witnessed transformative teaching methods, notably in the early years, leading to remarkable improvements in children's confidence, engagement, and academic performance.
