Heaven Waves International School (HEWIS)

Our Story

Humble beginnings, divine growth

On 17 May 2021, Heaven Waves International School opened its doors in a single room of an uncompleted residential building. Just five pupils sat in that room. By the end of the term there were fifteen.

Today, by God's grace, HEWIS serves over 200 learners from Agona East and surrounding rural communities — children who would otherwise have little or no access to quality education.

For years classes were held in makeshift spaces shared with residents — no office, no library, no proper kitchen. Through the support of our local church, parents and community, we have now moved into a purpose-built 15-unit classroom block with a modern dining hall.

"HEWIS is more than a school. It is a mission field, a hope factory, a testimony of what faith can build from nothing."
