Regentropfen University College (Regentropfen or RUC for short) located in Kansoe in the Bongo District of the Upper East Region of Ghana got its institutional accreditation in March 2016. It all began in 2010 after Rev. Fr. Moses Asaah Awinongya SVD became the Director of Stiftung Regentropfen – Bildung zum Leben. He wanted to get a library established in the Namoo traditional area, so that the young boys and girls there could have a place to retreat and learn. In the search for funds and in consultation with possible project financiers, the idea the library was developed into Educational Center and later into Regentropfen University College.
The name of the institution owes its roots to the German word ‘REGENTROPFEN’, which means raindrops. It has the same roots like the mother foundations in Germany and Ghana, namely, Stiftung Regentropfen and Regentropfen Education Foundation. Regentropfen is not just a name, but more so it serves as the program of the University College. Rain brings life to humanity and to the whole of creation. In the same spirit, Regentropfen University College is to promote life through the promotion of talents
