From Risk to University: Equipping Girls in Ghana with Laptops

Global Servants

How access to technology is helping House of Grace graduates pursue higher education

When the first girls walked through the doors of House of Grace-Ghana in 2011, they were among the most vulnerable in their communities. Today, those same girls are rewriting their futures—five have already entered university, and five more will graduate high school this year with plans to continue their education.


Recently, three of our newest university freshmen received personal laptops thanks to the generosity of a faithful Global Servants supporter. This gift is more than just technology—it’s a tool that empowers our students to succeed in their studies and chase the Big Destiny God has for them.

Why Laptops Matter for University Students

For most university students, a laptop is essential. It’s where assignments are completed, research is done, and classwork is organized. Without one, students often have to share devices or wait in long lines at campus libraries. With their own laptops, the girls can manage their time wisely, keep all their coursework in one place, and develop confidence in their ability to succeed. This practical gift communicates something powerful: you are worthy of investment. That confidence motivates our girls to work harder and dream bigger.


From House of Grace to Higher Education

The journey from at-risk child to university student is nothing short of remarkable. What began as an act of rescue has grown into a story of restoration, education, and empowerment. Each laptop placed in the hands of a young woman at university is a visible symbol of transformation—a life once vulnerable now thriving, equipped, and prepared to lead.


How You Can Help

Stories like this are only possible because of generous partners who believe in education as prevention. By supporting Global Servants, you help ensure that girls not only grow up safe at House of Grace but also go on to achieve higher education and break cycles of poverty and exploitation for generations to come.

A Note from Travis Rutland

Watching our girls walk into a university classroom is one of the greatest joys of this ministry. It proves that prevention works. When you invest in education, you’re investing in transformation—and that’s a legacy that lasts for generations. Thank you for standing with us.

Why New Vehicles Matter From school runs and medical appointments to ministry outreach and community engagement, vehicles play a vital role in the daily rhythm of House of Grace. Reliable transportation ensures that the girls can get to school on time, receive proper healthcare, and participate in activities that enrich their growth and development. A Blessing for Staff and Students The addition of new vehicles also eases the workload for our staff, who faithfully serve the girls each day. With dependable transportation, staff can focus less on logistics and more on what matters most—caring for the girls and nurturing their spiritual, educational, and emotional growth. Expanding Our Reach Beyond daily needs, these vehicles also empower Global Servants to extend our mission into surrounding communities. Whether transporting supplies, welcoming visitors, or engaging in local outreach, the vehicles are tools that allow us to serve more people and share God’s love more effectively.
