Members of the ZiSFoD team played a central role in the All Children Reading Phase 2 initiative, demonstrating strong competence in literacy programming, system strengthening, and school-based capacity development. The team conceptualised key programme components and led implementation across selected districts, working closely with the Ghana Education Service and school communities. ZiSFoD members developed high-quality literacy training content and instructional materials for teachers, facilitators, and GES personnel. They delivered continuous coaching and mentoring support aimed at strengthening pedagogical skills, improving phonics-based instruction, and enhancing classroom literacy practices. The team also provided technical support for implementing structured literacy and numeracy activities, ensuring fidelity to programme design. Additionally, ZiSFoD staff worked with district-level stakeholders to coordinate programme rollout, monitor progress, and ensure timely delivery of results within scope, schedule, and budget. Through effective collaboration with local education authorities, community structures, and project partners, the team contributed significantly to improving foundational reading outcomes for children in participating schools.

ZiSFoD recently completed the conduct of a study on the implications access to WASH facilities has on menstrual hygiene management, school attendance and learning outcomes across 48-basic schools in six districts in Ghana. The study is using a triangulation mixed method approach - using both quantitative and qualitative approaches to establish the relationship between WASH facilities, MHM, school attendance and learning outcomes. The findings from the study are expected to help bridge the gap between policy and implementation by strengthening the evidence on how relevant WASH facilities are to achieving school outcomes.

The Reading Ghana – Western Region initiative is a flagship literacy enhancement programme funded by CODE (Canada) in partnership with the Gold Fields Ghana Foundation. Designed to improve foundational literacy outcomes among early-grade learners across selected districts in the Western Region, the project integrates community engagement, teacher capacity building, and culturally relevant reading materials to strengthen learning outcomes in underserved communities. Members of the Zion Seed Foundation for Development (ZiSFoD) played a central role in the conceptualisation, design, and early implementation of the project. From 2022 to 2025, the ZiSFoD team provided technical leadership in programme strategy, community mobilisation, and the rollout of school- and community-level reading activities. The team also supported teacher training, development of assessment tools, and continuous monitoring of reading performance.

3. ZiSFoD in partnership with the Ada West District Office of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), organised an environmental awareness programme on World Environment Day 2025 to educate students on the global theme “Ending Plastic Pollution.” The event brought together pupils from selected schools in Sege to enhance their understanding of plastic waste management, environmental protection, and sustainability. The programme focused on equipping learners with practical eco-solutions, including plastic reduction, reuse, recycling, waste segregation, and composting. Students were sensitised on the scale of the plastic pollution crisis globally and nationally, including the low recycling rates and the growing environmental and health risks associated with plastic waste accumulation, especially in coastal districts such as Ada West. The initiative strengthened students’ capacity to adopt sustainable habits in their homes, schools, and communities, while promoting the principles of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. It also encouraged school-led environmental actions such as creative reuse of plastic waste, participation in recycling activities, and small-scale environmental stewardship initiatives. In all, the programme reinforced ZiSFoD’s commitment to eco-literacy and youth-led environmental action, fostering a generation of responsible young citizens capable of contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable Ghana.
