The Legacy of Madam Degbato-Senaye

A lifetime of service to Ghana's education system (1971–2022) | Honoured through the EED Foundation (2023–2026)

The One Child, One Bowl Project

September 2026 – Krowor South Enclave

In Ghana, the government provides free daily meals to students in public basic schools a vital step toward fighting hunger and supporting education. But there's a gap: many of these children have no bowls or plates of their own to eat those meals with.

That's where the EED Foundation steps in. With the One Child, One Bowl Project, we aim to put a proper bowl into the hands of every student in the Krowor South Enclave. Because a meal is only as good as the means to enjoy it. By providing a simple, dignified tool for eating, we help ensure that no child has to wait, share, or go without during lunchtime.

One meal. One bowl. One child at a time.
