Recognizing this need, Tema Global Foundation, in collaboration with local stakeholders, refurbished the school's library and provided approximately 2,000 books. This project aims to cultivate a reading culture among students and enhance their educational experience.

The organization began its journey by feeding the Prince George’s House Men’s Shelter in Capitol Heights, MD, on July 2, 2022, and has since expanded its efforts internationally.
With around 500 members, many of whom are in the diaspora, the foundation continues to positively impact communities both locally and abroad. The refurbishment of Tema Royal School’s library underscores Tema Global Foundation’s commitment to improving educational opportunities and fostering community spirit.
The foundation plans to undertake more transformative projects, empowering the youth and enriching the community.
