Our Story
Paula Eve’s School started as the brainchild of Aaron and Juliet Akwaboah, the
two grew up in a small village in the Eastern Region of Ghana that did not even have
electricity or running water. Due to the overall poverty of the area their educational
opportunities were greatly limited. Consequently, after getting an opportunity to emigrate
to Los Angeles California in the early 1980s they knew that while chasing the American Dream
they must find a way to help provide the quality education that they missed out on to as
many young people in Ghana as possible. Therefore, Mrs. Akwaboah pursued a degree in Child
Development while working full time as a Certified Nursing Assistant. Mr. Akwaboah worked 50
to 60 hours a week to establish the necessary capital that would be needed to fund their
dream. Finally in 1996 the Akwaboahs and their three children moved to Accra, Ghana to lay
the foundation of what would become Paula Eve’s School. On January 6, 1997 the School opened
with a handful of toddlers, one teacher and the Akwaboahs running all facets of the
operation from cooking, cleaning, lesson planning, and financial duties. The School can now
boast of 450 students ranging to from newborns to junior high school.
