As part of its quest to partner other organisations and Associations sharing their vision, it sought assistance from Taimaka Africa Foundation based in California USA. The foundation responded positively to the request of the association and donated $3,500 to Hohoe Zongo Development Association (HOZDA).

This year HOZDA is awarding 10 scholarships to newly admitted students into tertiary educational level comprising University, Nursery and Midwifery College, College of Education for 2020/2021 academic year and continuing students. The 10 Scholarships will be offered to deserving, brilliant but needy students to pursue tertiary education.
