Foundation For Free Learning And Merit Education; FLAME, a non profit making and Non Governmental Organisation (NGO), was born from the vision of the frustrations of the underprivileged, or the needy’s struggle to become educated.

In the rural areas of Ghana, it is a common site to see a whole school being manned by a couple of teachers. This situation has come about due to the fact that we do not have enough teachers and also teachers evasively dodge postings to the underdeveloped areas.

Naturally, such unfortunate people of the society can in no means afford the cost of quality and merit education. And it is among Flame''s objective to help educate such people so that they in the end may become useful citizens in the society but not as street children or liabilities.
