Rapper Ja Rule, known for his contributions to the hip-hop scene, has embarked on a philanthropic journey to Ghana in collaboration with Pencils of Promise, an NGO dedicated to making quality education accessible to all children by building modern classrooms.
Together, they are set to transform the educational landscape of Nuaso, a town in the Eastern Region of Ghana, by constructing a six-unit classroom block for St. John’s Anglican Basic School.
During the groundbreaking ceremony, Ja Rule’s presence and words left a lasting impression on the attendees. He spoke of his pride and the importance of initiating such projects, emphasizing the enduring impact it would have on the community.
“I’m proud to be out here to have the audacity to come out here to build a school for my people,” Ja Rule remarked, highlighting the project as the start of something extraordinary for the local community.

The project has garnered attention and support from local dignitaries, including the deputy Minister for Arts and Tourism, who seized the opportunity to encourage Ja Rule to advocate for Ghana’s “Beyond the Return” campaign upon his return to the U.S.
This partnership not only focuses on building physical structures but also on fostering a deeper connection between Ghana and its diaspora.
Pencils of Promise’s CEO detailed the project’s scope and timeline, with plans to include washroom facilities alongside the classroom block, aiming for completion within the year.
This gesture of receiving traditional smocks symbolizes the community’s appreciation and welcoming spirit towards the initiative.
