I was researching online for television stations located in or covering West Africa and came across a UK Government supported website called Teachers TV. It provides resource videos for teachers covering a wide range of subjects and has several good films about Africa. The video described here is fantastic viewing and I recommend you take a look.

The programme looks at the work of the Carolyn A. Miller Elementary School in Ghana.

Located in the Buduburam Liberian Refugee Camp, the school offers pupils education against a backdrop of war, brutality and poverty.

The school, founded by refugee Karrus Hayes, struggles with hungry pupils, unpaid staff, no electricity and resources, however has high ambitions for its pupils and a spirit that is as uplifting as it is humbling.
