Tuition costs €15 with all proceeds going to support the Universal Wonderful Street Academy in Accra, the capital city of Ghana.

The academy was established by Louis Yeboah Wonder Doe (artist name Louis Wonder) a Ghanaian musician aware of the importance of education and committed to eradicate extreme poverty and improve the living conditions of the street children in Accra. The academy provides free education and meals to these children, while also paying the annual fee for national health insurance providing each child with free health care.
