Ja Rule is making significant strides in his mission to enhance education in Ghana. The rapper recently updated fans on the progress of the school he’s building.

The rapper shared photos on Instagram, pointing to the progress of work so far on the structure. The photos show the building taking shape with the roof now in place.

Sharing the photos, Ja Rule expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to touch the lives of the children.

“My school in Ghana is looking beautiful can’t wait till it’s finished… sending my love and big thank you to Pencils of promise for giving me the opportunity to help change lives… 🧡,” he said.

The project is a collaboration with Pencils of Promise, a nonprofit dedicated to improving educational infrastructure in underserved areas.

Ja Rule’s initiative focuses on constructing a six-unit classroom block at Nuaso Anglican Primary School to provide better learning environments for Ghanaian children.

The classrooms are expected to open soon, and the photos reveal the school’s beautiful design and solid structure, reflecting the rapper’s commitment to creating a lasting impact.

He first announced the initiative when he visited Ghana in April to break ground, expressing his excitement about contributing to education in the country.

He has remained actively involved, sharing updates and engaging his followers in the journey. This project adds to the rapper’s history of philanthropic efforts, particularly in education. In 2002, he co-founded L.I.F.E. (Love Ignites Freedom & Education), a nonprofit focused on empowering young people through learning opportunities.
