Ghana
Providing infrastructures for a better access to education and water within cocoa communities
Context
- 2nd largest cocoa producing country after Cote d’Ivoire
- Climate change impacts cocoa crops (change in weather patterns)
- Economic vulnerability and deepened poverty during off seasons
- Children education as well as Sanitation & Hygiene are crucial issues
Activities:
In case of lack of answers from governments, it is our duty to support farming communities as much as we can on a punctual basis.
Obviously, we work closely with local authorities to provide appropriate solutions. Although our action remains a drop in the ocean….we have to start somewhere:
- Construction of infrastructures for the communities (toilet facilities, water pumps, etc)
- Construction of a 6-classroom-block, fully equipped in Yirase Community
- Construction of Domeabra school started end of 2021
A few data
- 4 communities involved
- 4 water pumps built in community centers
- More than 1,000 families beneficiaries
