Futurestars
Tema, Ghana and Lomé, Togo
Overview:
Founded in 2015 and registered as a UK charity in 2018, Futurestars embodies transformative corporate social responsibility in Ghana and Togo. Strategically collaborating with seven schools (in Tema, Ghana, and Lomé, Togo), Futurestars, led by OMA CSR Director Simon Milton, actively engages in education, sports coaching, and impactful school refurbishment. Originating from a partnership between OMA Ghana Ltd and Yinson Production WA Ltd, Futurestars boasts prestigious affiliations with Fendercare Marine, Aviance Ghana, Rana Motors, Honeysuckle Bars, and Prime Insurance. The recent expansion to a local school in Lomé aligns with Futurestars’ commitment to extending its corporate footprint along the West African coast.
Initiatives and Impact:
At its core, Futurestars inspires young minds through a blend of sports and education, offering sustainable support to seven community partner schools, bespoke sports coaching, and a robust scholarship program. Upholding the highest standards of transparency and compliance, Futurestars reports notable improvements in school attendance, reduced truancy, and the development of vital life skills among students. Corporate partners, volunteers, and donors actively contribute to Futurestars’ mission, providing exclusive avenues for financial commitment, employee engagement, and corporate work experience. The fully governed Corporate Social Responsibility Programme supports over 5,000 underprivileged children through tailor-made corporate donor packages. Key initiatives like school refurbishments, scholarships, library projects and many more, underscore Futurestars’ commitment to the holistic development of children, aligning with corporate values and fostering a brighter future for communities in need.
Offering hundreds of volunteer opportunities in Ghana, Futurestars actively engages the corporate community in its impactful initiatives. The dedicated team of five staff members and nine volunteer coaches ensures the success and sustainability of its corporate social responsibility initiatives. Educational impact is further heightened with the employment of 11 qualified teachers dedicated to providing quality education. The program delivers 150+ coaching hours weekly, contributing to enhanced sports engagement and skill development, while also providing 120,000+ school meals to promote health and nutrition among students. This comprehensive approach underscores Futurestars’ commitment to creating a positive and lasting impact in the communities it serves.
