AIM Pilot

The AIM pilot was launched in Anlo-Afiadenyigba, a rural community in the Keta Municipality. The area has active basic schools and a growing youth population, but also faces challenges common to rural education—low student performance, limited learning resources, and staffing gaps.

These conditions made it a suitable location to test and refine the AIM model.

Partner Schools

• Anlo-Afiadenyigba Roman Catholic Primary & JHS

• Anlo-Afiadenyigba Evangelical Presbyterian JHS

Research and Insights

The programme design was shaped through continuous engagement with school leaders, teachers, and community members. These discussions highlighted the community’s educational needs and helped tailor the intervention for maximum relevance and impact

Key Challenges Identified

• Low academic performance

• Limited access to learning materials

• Low student motivation

• Little structured academic support outside classroom hours

Results and Impact

The pilot has shown strong early success, including:

• Three active Volunteer Teaching Assistants with stipends paid on time

• Extra classes rolled out in both schools

• Provision of key learning materials

• Increased learner participation from the targeted 20 to 40 students

Fiade Hub Intervention

The Foundation introduced a targeted support model that included:

• Recruiting and placing Volunteer Teaching Assistants (V‑TAs)

• Running structured extra classes for BECE candidates

• Providing essential teaching and learning materials

• Providing monthly motivation packs for students who attend the extra classes and an award scheme for the top three performing students

Looking Ahead

The AIM pilot has demonstrated a practical, effective way to boost learning outcomes in underserved communities. Lessons from this phase will guide programme refinement and support future expansion into additional modules and communities
