COINPM Africa 2026 was an impactful success. This journey started one year ago, not knowing what to expect or the impact COINPM would have when we said yes to partner with Purpose Youth Foundation on their 5th Annual Educational Trip to Ghana for girls and the Bridge to African Connection.
We thank founder and director Lorie James of Purpose Youth Foundation for the opportunity to serve alongside her and their commitment to young girls and ladies locally, and in Ghana on the 6th Annual Trip to Ghana this year.
We are deeply grateful to our Bridge Builders, whose generosity and belief in the mission of COINPM Africa’s 2nd year of impact, a meaningful investment in the lives of children and young people in Ghana.
Through our independent efforts and in partnership with the Purpose Youth Foundation during their 6th Annual Educational Mission Trip, we were able to extend opportunity, resources, and mentorship to the next generation of leaders.
Bridge Builders together, we delivered:
✨ 12 soccer balls to encourage teamwork, wellness, and community in partnership with Purpose Youth Foundation
✨ 100 children’s books to nurture literacy and imagination in partnership with Purpose Youth Foundation, Tech Reach
✨ 200 pencils to support daily learning in partnership with Purpose Youth Foundation, Tech Reach Ghana
✨ 16 Chromebooks, 4 donated on behalf of Purpose Youth Foundation, and 12 dedicated to the COINPM Africa Project
✨ 5 university student sponsorships and mentorship through the COINPM Africa Project
A special thank you to the medical, science, and technical students at KNUST, and to the President of the Medical Students Organization, KNUST University in Kumasi.
Thank you, Professor Philip-Agyei, Provost, College of Science at KNUST University in Kumasi. Thank you, Professor Alexander K. Anning, Dept. Of Theoretical and Applied Biology, KNUST University in Kumasi, and to all other Professors, Students, and Student Body Leadership. Thank you!
This work is a reminder that when communities unite across borders, bridges of opportunity are built for generations to come. We are yet to solidify our impact with communities in Ghana and looking forward to 2027.
Thank you for standing with us as we build bridges of hope locally and globally. In the meantime, consider helping us reach our goal of 10 sponsored students. We are 5 students away, and our ongoing commitments are impacting the community locally and globally.
