Ja Rule Shares New Photos Of ‘Beautiful’ School He’s Building In Ghana

Ja Rule is full steam ahead on the school he’s building in Ghana, and he’s keeping fans updated on the progress along the way.

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday (November 26), the New York native shared a series of photos showing the structure is in place and the roof has been installed.

“My school in Ghana is looking beautiful can’t wait till it’s finished…” he captioned it. “sending my love and big thank you to Pencils of promise for giving me the opportunity to help change lives…”

Ja Rule announced the philanthropic project at the top of the year, taking to X to share his excitement.

“I’m also building a school in Ghana can’t wait to go and break ground… Rule love the kids!!!” he wrote alongside a series of emojis including an orange heart, sun and sunrise.

Ja Rule is not the first rapper to offer education in Ghana. In 2017, Lil Jon teamed up with the non-profit organization Pencils of Promise to open two schools in the West African country.

The construction — funded by a $70,000 donation from the producer — included a kindergarten and primary school located in the Asuogyaman District of eastern Ghana. Children previously attended school in sheds and class would often be canceled due to bad weather.

In an Instagram post the following year, Lil Jon wrote: “Last year I went with my family to open up my first Pencils of Promise school in Ghana, and now to have over 300 kids already enrolled in my second school there is incredible.

“It’s been really fulfilling to see the impact these schools have made on so many of these children’s and families’ futures.”
