VEReF Development Network

VEReF is a private voluntary organisation devoted to championing increasing access to total quality education in West Africa with the view to promote a peaceful, prosperous, just, open and honest society. VEReF supports programmes in Ghana and other West African countries that seek to advance quality social life and peaceful co-existence through improved formal and informal education, good character formation and moral upbringing. The Foundation is committed to an educational system that does not only focus on numeracy, literacy, and vocational skills training, but more importantly, also using education to promote morality as is expected to reflect in high ethical values such as truth and honesty, respect for authority, law and order as well as good governance and leadership. As a hallmark, the Foundation is committed to assisting in designing and financing sustainable educational projects that are economically beneficial, financially and commercially sound, and environmentally and socially sustainable in West Africa. Besides total quality education, VEReF is also committed to programmes aimed at promoting good health and nutrition; human rights, democracy and governance; gender, social integration and empowerment; and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH).
