“I sold my house to fund Yvonne International School”

Renowned Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has revealed how she was able to fund the construction of her school.

According to her, after all attempt to secure loans from the bank failed, she was left with no option than to sell her house to fund the construction.

“I’m getting personal now, when we started the project, at a point, I had to sell my house, because I went to the bank for loan and the percentages on the interest did not make sense,” she revealed.

According to her, “So I had to fall back on the house, I had so many memories there but I told myself, Yvonne, this is the only way.”

She further revealed that “I sold my house, started the project, the money got finished, I had to get into my savings, I pretty much emptied my entire savings for the school project.

“My heart is in this, I know that a lot of future leaders are going to come from this school,” she added

The school offers a hybrid, which is the Cambridge and the GES curriculum systems of education.

As part of the Crèche and the Kindergarten, they have added a Primary level to the school.
