The Meaning of the Flag

"I decided on the three colors of red, gold & green because of the geography of Ghana. Ghana lies in the tropics and blessed with rich vegetation. The color Gold was influenced by the mineral rich nature of our lands and Red commemorates those who died or worked for the country's independence. Then the five pointed lone star which is the symbol of African emancipation and unity in the struggle agianst colonialism."

Mallam Charity Inc. has name after

the late founder Sulemana Mallam

Sawadogo.

Sulemana M, Sawadogo was born in

West Africa Country of Upper Volta

now known as Burkina Faso.

As a young man looking for better

conditions of life, he left his native Burkina Faso and headed towards East to Ghana.

In 1945, he settled in the western town of Sunyani, worked as road construction

agent. He bought a piece of land17 miles away from Sunyani and converted into

farming.

He then created a small town called mallamkrom (named after him).

As the community grew he realized how important it was for the young people to

get education, he was attached to magnitude of education that prompted him, to

build the school out of his own pocket, a school from 1st to 9th grade. He paid the

teachers from his own pocket and supplied free books.

It is only in the late years that government of Ghana recognizes his efforts, and he

handed over the administration to the government of Ghana for free of charge. Up

to today, Mallamkrom L.A Middle school had educated more then 500,000

children, some of the students were capable to continue to colleges all over Ghana

and around the world.

More importantly, Mallam LA Middle School needs renovation towards the future

that would continues the good work of my father started.

The main renovation is to build a vocational training institute for the youth in

Mallamkrom LA Middle School that would able the grow community to continues

education after Middle School.

In the other words, due to sterner poverty the youth need help to be train in

vocational jobs that can help them to obtain a good future.
