Empowering Underserved Communities Through Music and ICT Education
The Global World Citizens organization has embarked on a transformative music education
program aimed at providing school children from underprivileged communities with access to
music and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) education. This initiative seeks
to uplift these children by offering them a creative outlet, enhancing their cognitive skills, and
fostering a love for music and technology.
Led by Jeffrey Nkansah Dampare the director of the organization, the
program has been making remarkable progress, capturing the attention and interest of
children across the country.
Promoting Access to Music and ICT Education for kids in communities with limited
resources, the Global World Citizens music education initiative has been a ray of hope.
Children are exposed to a variety of musical instruments, vocal skills, and music theory
through the program. Through the use of melodies and rhythms, they learn to express
themselves, uncovering their hidden abilities and fostering their creativity. Additionally, the
incorporation of ICT education gives pupils essential digital literacy skills, opening doors to
upcoming opportunities in the digital age.
Expanding Reach and Impact
The initiative has set its eyes on expanding its reach to offer free music and ICT education to
all regions of the country, motivated by the success shown in the program’s pilot villages.
This expansion strategy demonstrates Global World Citizens’ dedication to fostering an
inclusive and equitable society in which every child, regardless of background, has the
opportunity to explore and advance their technological and artistic skills.
Insights from director Jeffery Nkansah Dampare
The initiative’s founder, Jeffrey Nkansah Dampare (Nana Wayne Beats), recently spoke
about his passion and uplifting experiences. He expressed his happiness at seeing the
participating kids make quick progress and show such strong enthusiasm. Dampare is driven
to reach as many kids as possible with this program because he is passionate about music
and believes in its transformative power. He has gained valuable information and inspiration
to keep growing the project after seeing kids embrace the program and demonstrate their
newly discovered talents.
The Impact on Children’s Lives
The Global World Citizens-founded music and ICT education program has had a significant
positive impact on the lives of the participating children. The curriculum has helped the
students enhance their self-confidence, attentiveness, and sense of discipline in addition to
their musical and technological talents. These kids now have a platform to express
themselves, manage their emotions, and develop crucial life skills thanks to the program’s
secure and supportive atmosphere.
Partnerships and Community Support
The success of the program is attributed to the collaborative efforts of Global World Citizens
with local schools, educators, and volunteers. The dedication and support of the community
have played a pivotal role in creating a sustainable and impactful program. With ongoing
partnerships and increased community involvement, the program has the potential to make
an even more significant difference in the lives of underserved children nationwide.
We would like to acknowledge and commend the administration of the Ick-rico Basic School in
Kibi, located in the eastern region of Ghana, for their enthusiastic support and keen interest
in the music education program initiated by the Global World Citizens . Their commitment to
providing opportunities for their students and recognizing the value of music and ICT education is truly commendable.
Furthermore, We extend my heartfelt appreciation to the dedicated and hardworking teachers
who have volunteered their time and efforts to support this noble initiative. Their passion for

instrumental in creating a nurturing learning environment for the students.
The collaboration between the school administration, teachers, and Global World Citizens
exemplifies the power of collective action and community involvement. It is through such
partnerships that meaningful change is made and a lasting impact is achieved. The Iskrico
Basic School serves as an inspiring example of a school that prioritizes the holistic
development of its students and embraces innovative educational initiatives.
By recognizing and appreciating the contributions of the Iskrico Basic School administration
and the dedicated teachers, we not only acknowledge their invaluable support but also
encourage other educational institutions to follow their lead. Their commitment to the
program sets a positive precedent and inspires others to embrace similar initiatives that
