Economic Development
Ghana has taken great strides toward eradicating poverty over the last two decades. However, economic development is highly unequal in Ghana, with nearly a quarter of the population still living below the UN’s poverty line. Within all our community development programmes, we aim to create new forms of income that can be sustained within the communities we work alongside.
Our sanitation project employs full-time masons, our sports programme maintains revenue for coaches, and our reforestation efforts provide new income streams for the families of tree tenders. We also support local businesses, such as clothing production and soap-making.
