Our work in Ghana

We have provided support to Ghana since 1999, improving children’s access to nutrition and education, and helping families gain independence and self-reliance. With additional partners and our Country Rep joining us in the last few years, we are now poised to help even more children and families in Ghana improve their health and well-being, today and for the future.

  With TradeAID, we work to strengthen off-farm alternative livelihood activities, such as basket weaving. Construction of craft centres has led to improved family income through baskets sales.
