Sarah Left London for Kumasi — And Never Looked Back

Sarah Owusu-Agyemang

Kumasi

London gave me my career. Kumasi gave me my purpose. I'm building a school that teaches in Twi and English.

Sarah Owusu-Agyemang, Kumasi

Sarah Owusu-Agyemang spent 15 years in London finance before a family funeral in Kumasi changed her trajectory. 'I saw children walking two hours to school,' she recalls. 'I had the resources to change that.' She founded a bilingual school in Kumasi that teaches in both Twi and English, now serving 200 students. 'The children here are brilliant,' she says. 'They just need opportunity.' Sarah's school is a stop on the GhanaRoots Volunteer + Explore tour, where travelers can spend time teaching, building, and connecting with students.
