Titagya Schools was founded in 2008 by Abukari Abdul-Fatawu, Manzah Iddi Habib and Andrew Garza[1] to address northern Ghana's rural adult literacy rate of 22%.
[2] In November 2009 Titagya opened a pre-school for 50 children in Dalun, in the Tolon-Kumbungu District of Ghana.
The word titagya means "we have changed" in Dagbani.
Titagya tries to help children learn through play while developing their cognitive, social and emotional skills.
[5] Titagya works with the government of Ghana to increase the number of high-quality preschools and kindergartens in North Africa,[6] and with other institutions to reduce the role of rote learning in early education in Ghana, and increase small group activities that encourage critical thinking and social and emotional development.
