What is CSAG

Child Survival Aid Ghana (CSAG) is a non-profit NGO dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities for underprivileged children in rural Ghana.

Our Story

Since 2012, Child Survival Aid Ghana (CSAG) has been on a mission to bring hope and education to children in rural Ghana. We believe every child, no matter their background, deserves a chance to learn and grow. Through our work, we’ve seen how quality education opens doors and helps children reach their potential.

Education is more than books and classrooms. It unlocks better opportunities, stronger families, and personal freedom. It changes communities and shapes futures beyond the individual. Knowing this, we dedicate ourselves to helping children rise above poverty's challenges.
