The Anmchara International School
The Anmchara International School was founded in January 2002 on the veranda of a house in a remote, rural village named Sega. Sega is a small village in eastern Ghana, lying on the Atlantic coast about 100KM east of the capital city Accra, near the relaxing beach resort town, Ada. Most of the residents in Sega are farmers and fishermen belonging to the Ga-Adangbe tribe. The School was founded by a Ghanaian man, Godwin Agudey, with a passion for teaching and a desire to live a life of meaning.
Since the humble establishment of the Anmchara International School, the school has grown to include a nursery, primary and junior secondary schools, as well as a kitchen and dining hall where over 300 students are taught and fed every day. Anmchara serves as the home base as well as a source of inspiration for Intercordia students who will be placed in schools within 20 kms from Sega.
