As described by the charity on the register

Lively Minds works to get pre-school children in rural Ghana and Uganda school-ready. Working through government we build the skills and confidence of marginalised mothers to run educational Play Schemes & provide nurturing care at home. This improves the quality of life and life-chances for children, parents and the wider communities.
