GHANA

UNITED KINGDOM

Our achievements are indicative of the hard work, dedication and commitment of our team and volunteers that effortlessly worked during the pandemic to support those in the greatest need. We are so pleased to start off on this platform and pray that we grow from strength to strength to be able to help more people. In Ghana we have had people/food vendors donate food in kind which has been a blessing! We have managed to build a small team of volunteers who are from various backgrounds and hope to continue to develop as we continue to impact lives.

Goals for 2022-2023

Funding & Donations

We want to continue working hard to obtain funding to support our various initiatives in order to help more families.

6

Collaborative Work

Work alongside other organisations with the same values and passions we have to give more women/children/families support and increase awareness of what we do as an organisation.

Restoration Programme

Identify the opportunity to support families to become self-reliant and continue our workshops to help women start small businesses to be able to provide for their families.

Feeding Programme

Continue to provide food parcels to struggling families. In Ghana we want to reach more rural areas where the need is the greatest. We will also continue support children especially during the Christmas Season.

The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the need for greater support for people especially those already living in abject poverty. We hope that we are able to continue to relieve or prevent poverty in families.
