Right for Education was established in 2014 by Dr Susann Dattenberg-Doyle  (styled Mama Ngoryisi in Ewe), a psychologist and Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society. Ngoryisi first became involved in education in Ghana in 1999 and funded the creation of a school in 2004 in Kpoeta in the Upper Volta region In 2006, Ngoryisi was made Queen of Gbi Kpoeta, taking the name Mama Ngoryisi. Despite initiatives to create further schools in the region, there remained many issues of accessibility to educational resources. As a result, Ngoryisi changed focus to providing educational materials to a greater audience by placing them online. In 2012, Ngoryisi’s company, I Do Philanthropy, was  granted NGO status by the Ghanaian government. Right for Education was founded in 2016. The foundation’s website currently holds all its published educational materials. In 2019, the foundation was approached to collaborate with the Ghanaian Ministry of Education. Organisation. Right for Education has registered charitable status in Ireland and NGO status in Ghana. Its partners include Facebook and Oxford University. Methodology.
