The mission of Sankofa is to help needy Africans become self-sustaining, and it has been doing so since 1993. As of April 2010, there are five full-time and two dozen part-time scholarship students. Based on Sankofa's experiences, most students in Ghana are struggling to make payments. Therefore, to expand the Sankofa Scholarship Program and provide financial relief for more students, in 2010, Sankofa established The Sankofa National Scholarship Program (SNSP), under Sankofa International Youth Ghana, a NGO based in Ghana. Under the SNSP, individuals can register to win full scholarships at the senior secondary, vocational, technical, and tertiary school levels.
