Platini’s School Of Hope, 2019-2021

Hope for Ghana’s second school, Platini’s School of Hope, was inaugurated in August 2021 and is now open to over 100 students. The remote village of Kpevenu, hungry for the chance to learn, had been desperately in need of a school because the nearest school is 6 kilometers away so children often did not go to school.

Hope for Ghana heard Member of Parliament Hon. Bernard Ahiafor’s emotional plea to build a new school in Kpevenu as he referred to the temporary shed students had been learning under, “This is what the people of Kpevenu use as a classroom. It doesn’t befit human status … Come to our aid so the children at least have a classroom to attend school. Children are the future of every nation. These children from Kpevenu are the future of the community, future of Ghana, future of Africa and the future of the world.”

Hope for Ghana has proudly created a modern kindergarten and primary school, providing 4 classrooms, a library, staff room, running water, solar power, toilets and a sewage system. The school honors the memory of my friend and mentor, Christian Platini Ashiagbor. A humanitarian, a child rights advocate who believed in the potential of every child, Platini was the bedrock of my work in Ghana for many years, guiding me and building the team that still faithfully works with me. Platini left this world much too early but leaves behind a legacy of improving the human condition.

We have happily given Kpevenu a sustainable gift for their future. Thank you for joining me on this incredible journey as we change the village of Kpevenu forever.

One village at a time.

Inspirational Feedback

You are changing lives with your love and your hope and your financial support. Your life and their lives will never be the same again. And truly if you touch the heart of one person for one second and make a difference in their life, your life had meaning. I feel that if you look in the face of someone "truly" in need and help them in any way, even with a hug or a kind word, you are never the same. And I do believe that is our life's purpose. God is happy with you. You are doing all he asks of us and with kindness and gratitude. He is who we please when "whatever you do to the least of my brothers, you have done unto me." -Michelle Locke, Pittsburgh, PA

Thank you for your role in restoring faith in humanity. -Noorah AlSabah, London, England

Reading each email nearly brings a tear to my eye. Not only the benevolence that you have bestowed but the passion that you have to do more makes you truly a humanitarian. Thank you for continuing your tireless work but also for proving that there are great people in this world doing amazing things for others. Too often that is lost among the stories of prejudice, hate and tragedy. To the people of Ghana, you are saving lives with each drop of water, textbook and block of a schoolhouse. -Aaron Salyards, Pittsburgh, PA

When kids prefer to run to the library during a school break instead of playing with the other kids, when kids are willing to sit on the floor to read in an already overcrowded library during that break, then you know that Hope for Ghana is doing exactly the right thing in that community. -Christian Haasen, Hamburg, Germany

What a magnificent job you are accomplishing. I can't believe what has been done in the weeks you were there. This is why we are here and you have really been inspired to carry on with this work. God bless you and I do pray for you every day that God continues to enlighten you and protect you in this most beautiful project you have undertaken. The children seem so grateful they have Uncle Steve. God bless you and may he hold you in the palm of his hands. -Dee Paiano, Pittsburgh, PA

Thank you for sharing the pictures and videos. Your speech was very touching, sweet and straight from the heart. What you are doing is amazing. Not many people are able to help out as much as they would like to. Thanks to your efforts, you've made it possible for others to help out where they can too. Hope for Ghana is a way for others around the world to pitch in and make a difference for the kids of the future. Thank you for all your hard work. -Ezgi Muderrisoglu, Cork, Ireland
