Where we Work

GHANA

During the last few years, Ghana has known sustained economic growth. Despite this, many still struggle to make a living that can support themselves and their family. In rural areas and the northern region in particular over half of all families still live below the poverty line. Within this framework, we are addressing some of the most urgent challenges this brings particularly for women, education and access to water and sanitation.
