Free Online Courses that Empowers Life

Economic and geographic constraints exclude many Ghanaians from some basic educational courses that can empower their life to get even an entry level job. Especially people in underserved communities are more victims to such situation. It's also so unfortunate that most disadvantaged rural high school graduates have a slim chance of enjoying higher education due to poverty; the cost of higher education is also unbearable for most parents.
With the aid of technological developments and the help of some world-class universities, access to free online courses is within reach of many people across the globe. Some top U.S. accredited universities including Johns Hopkins, Princeton, Stanford and many more are providing universal access to free online certificate courses that can improve the quality of life of many people.
Envisioned a world of empowering information that transform lives, World Partners for Development (WPD), an international nonprofit organization is linking thousands of disadvantaged students around the world with such genuine online free certificate programs in many disciplines to help build their future. This collection of courses includes, Business & Management; Information Technology; Economics & Finance; Public Health; Statistics; Education and many more. Anyone can access these free courses from our website www.wpdprojects.org.
